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 (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.

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.

Allen recorded 60 tackles (27 solo), including five sacks, one pass defensed and one forced fumble in 17 contests during the 2023 season.
EDGE Analysis
After signing a three-year contract with Denver last offseason, Allen proved to be an impact player with his opportunities. His 60 total tackles were a career high, and the 26-year-old defensive end played a key role in the Broncos' improving defense. Allen should continue to play an important part in Denver's defensive attack for the 2024 campaign.
