Allen has recorded at least 0.5 sacks in six consecutive games and is up to 6.0 sacks through 10 regular-season games, which is third most on the Broncos behind Bonitto (9.5) and Jonathon Cooper (7.5) and 11th most in the NFL.

EDGE Analysis

Allen led Denver's defensive tackles in snaps (44) in Week 1, so it would almost have been disappointing if he didn't get to rookie quarterback Cam Ward on a day where his team recorded six sacks. He might spend more time filling gaps against the run when the Broncos travel to take on Indianapolis in Week 2.

Allen signed a four-year, $102 million contract extension with the Broncos on Saturday, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The deal includes $69.5 million guaranteed and makes him the NFL's third-highest paid interior defensive lineman behind Chris Jones and Milton Williams, per Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette. Allen logged a career-high 8.5 sacks in 16 regular-season games in 2024, and his contract extension ensures that he'll be part of the Broncos' long-term plans on defense.

Allen finished the 2024 regular season with 61 tackles (32 solo), including 8.5 sacks, and one pass defense across 16 games.

EDGE Analysis

Allen logged career highs in tackles and sacks in 2024, and his sack count was third-highest on Denver behind Nik Bonitto (13.5) and Jonathon Cooper (10.5). Allen, Bonitto, Cooper and John Franklin-Myers played an integral role for a Broncos' pass rush that registered a league-best 63.0 sacks during the regular season. Allen's best performance of the season came in Week 17 against the Bengals, when he recorded 3.5 sacks and played a role in five of the Broncos' seven takedowns of Joe Burrow.

Allen is now up to a career-best 8.5 sacks through 15 regular-season games, and he has a chance at reaching double digits for the first time in his NFL career against the Chiefs in Week 18.

Allen (heel) was estimated as a full participant in Thursday's practice walkthrough.

EDGE Analysis

Allen missed Sunday's Week 12 game against Las Vegas due to a heel injury, but his estimated status Thursday makes it likely that he'll be able to return Monday against Cleveland. The defensive end has logged 5.0 sacks through 11 games, putting him a half-sack behind the career-high mark he established in 2022 with Arizona.

Allen (heel) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Raiders.

EDGE Analysis

The defensive end was a limited participant in Denver's Wednesday and Friday practice sessions. Allen has 42 tackles (24 solo), including 5.0 sacks, and a pass defensed on the year. Jordan Jackson and Eyioma Uwazurike should be in line to replace him.

Allen (heel) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

EDGE Analysis

Allen had his full practice Thursday sandwiched between limited practices Wednesday and Friday, and he's drawn the questionable tag heading into Sunday's AFC West showdown. If Allen is unable to play, Jordan Jackson and Eyioma Uwazurike would see an uptick in snaps at defensive end alongside starter John Franklin-Myers. Through 11 regular-season games, Allen has logged 42 tackles (24 solo), including 5.0 sacks, and one pass defensed.
