Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday that Allen is ready to handle a full workload again after recovering from ankle surgery undergone in January, Jose M. Romero of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kingsbury added that Allen is running well, but that the defensive end may be utilized in different ways this preseason to ensure he remains healthy. The 24-year-old collected 48 tackles and four sacks over 15 games last year, and he figures to reprise a significant role on Arizona's defensive line this coming season.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury confirmed Monday that Allen (ankle) will be "full go for training camp," Alex Weiner of Sports Illustrated reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen, who is recovering from ankle surgery undergone in January, was seen working to the side of Arizona's practice Monday and likely will continue to take things slow leading up training camp. The third-year defensive end played 15 games last season while dealing with the lingering ankle issue, though the two missed games were due to his stay on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Allen has started 21 games over the past two seasons and figures to play a prominent role heading into the final year of his rookie contract with Arizona.

Allen recently had ankle surgery, per his Twitter account Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen noted that he toughed out "a torn-up ankle" all season, but his two absences during the 2021 campaign were attributed to a stay on the reserve/COVID-19 list. The third-year pro had a career season, with 48 tackles, four sacks, four pass defenses, three fumble recoveries (including one for a touchdown) and one interception in 15 games. As he enters the final year of his rookie deal, Allen will look to set himself up for a nice payday with a productive 2022.

The Cardinals activated Allen (illness) off the COVID-19 list Monday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official website reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen tested positive for the virus and missed two games while on the COVID-19 list. If the 24-year-old's conditioning is still up to par, he will likely make his return during Thursday's matchup with the Packers.

Allen tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen will be sidelined for Sunday's matchup against the Browns. Given that he has tested positive for the virus, he could also be in danger of missing the team's Week 7 matchup against Houston. Allen has recorded a total of 10 tackles across five games on the campaign.

Allen posted 11 tackles and a sack in Sunday's 33-26 win over the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

Allen held down the edge in Week 14 against the Eagles' tandem of quarterback Jalen Hurts and tailback Miles Sanders. He piled up 11 stops as a result, shattering his previous career high of four tackles in a game. The second-year defensive end also notched his first sack since Week 1.

Allen (ankle) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old landed on injured reserve with the ankle injury in late October, but he's back on the active roster in time for Week 12. Allen totaled 11 tackles and one sack in seven games before suffering the injury.

Allen (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve Tuesday, opening the 21-day window for him to be activated, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has missed the requisite amount of time on injured reserve and is eligible to return as soon as Sunday's game against the Patriots. The Cardinals could sorely use Allen back in the lineup, as defensive ends Jordan Phillips (hamstring) and Leki Fotu (ankle) have both gone to IR in the past two weeks. Allen should be an immediate starter once he returns to action.

The Cardinals placed Allen (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Cardinals believe Allen has a chance to return after a minimum three-week stint on IR, which would mean he could play Week 11 against the Seahawks -- a Thursday night contest. The 2019 third-round pick has started two games this year and maintains a consistent role on the team's defense, but until he returns to action, Leki Fotu, Jordan Phillips (hamstring) and Angelo Blackson should handle expanded roles.

Allen limped off the field and into the medical tent after sustaining a leg injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Urban adds that trainers were looking at Allen's ankle or knee following a non-contact injury. Allen's return should be considered questionable at this time, and Leki Fotu will likely slide into his spot at defensive end. Allen's injury has been clarified as an ankle injury and he's officially questionable to return.
