News

  • Officially headed to IR

    Pittsburgh placed Allen (biceps) on its injured reserve list Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Allen underwent surgery to repair his biceps after he sustained a serious injury in Pittsburgh's win versus Las Vegas in Week 16, and he'll now spend the rest of this regular season on injured reserve. He played exclusively on special teams in 2022, so the Steelers will have to find a way to replace his production in that phase.

  • Regular season over after surgery

    Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Allen will miss the final two games of Pittsburgh's regular season recovering from surgery he underwent to repair his biceps after Week 16, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Allen played all 230 of his snaps in 2022 on special teams, so the Steelers will now have to try to find a way to replace his production on that front. The 26-year-old linebacker will finish this regular season with 12 tackles.

  • Receives arm procedure

    Allen underwent biceps surgery following Saturday's win over the Raiders, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: While the Steelers haven't confirmed that Allen had surgery, the linebacker's recent Instagram stories would seem to indicate that he had a procedure following Saturday's contest. Expect the Steelers to provide an update on the 26-year-old's status within the next few days, but the fact that he had surgery clouds his availability for the final two games of the season.

  • Bows out with biceps injury

    Allen injured his biceps in Saturday's victory over the Raiders, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The extent of Allen's injury is not yet known, but his status will be updated when more information is released.

  • Released Tuesday

    Allen was released by the Steelers on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Allen failed to play in a preseason game this year while dealing with an ankle issue, but he appears to be healthy upon his release. The 26-year-old played in 16 games with Steelers last year, registering 13 tackles while mostly operating as a special-teams player. Allen will likely return to the Steelers' practice squad ahead of the 2022 season.

  • Unlikely to play Saturday

    Allen (ankle) is unlikely to participate during Saturday's preseason game against the Seahawks, Alan Saunders of PittsburghSportsNow.com reports.

    Analysis: Allen was seen not suited up ahead of the exhibition game against Seattle after sustaining an apparent ankle injury at some point earlier in the week. In his absence Saturday, fellow backups Buddy Johnson, Mark Robinson and Robert Spillane figure to see increased usage at inside linebacker for Pittsburgh.

  • Staying with Steelers

    Allen signed his restricted free agent tender with the Steelers on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Allen will thus remain in Pittsburgh for at least one more season after inking the contract tender extended to him by the team. Over the past two seasons, the 2018 fifth-round pick accumulated 43 tackles in 30 games while playing primarily on special teams, with 393 snaps coming in that phase during that span. The 25-year-old appeared on just 59 defensive snaps in 2021, and going forward should continue to slot in as a reserve behind starting inside linebackers Devin Bush and Myles Jack.

  • Returns from COVID list

    Allen (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

    Analysis: Allen missed Week 16 after testing positive for the virus but has now cleared the health and safety protocols. The 25-year-old has played only 17 defensive snaps in 14 games this season and has mostly contributed on special teams.

  • Placed on COVID-19 list

    The Steelers placed Allen (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Allen has played mainly on special teams this season, but his status for Sunday's game against Kansas City is now in jeopardy. Ulysees Gilbert could see a slight uptick in playing time if Allen is out Sunday.

  • Clear of injury report

    Allen (hamstring) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

    Analysis: Allen suffered the hamstring injury during the preseason finale, but it won't affect his availability for the season opener. The 2018 fifth-round pick should continue to fill a depth role for Pittsburgh after totaling 30 tackles (19 solo) in 14 games last year.

  • Doesn't return to Friday's contest

    Allen didn't return after suffering a hamstring injury during Friday's preseason contest against the Panthers, Joe Rutter of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

    Analysis: Allen has spent his entire career in Pittsburgh after being selected in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He appeared in just three games through his first two seasons, but he broke out last year, registering 30 tackles in 14 games. The extent of the 25-year-old's injury is unknown.

  • Back to full practice

    Allen (neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Allen's neck injury sidelined him Week 16, but he'll be available for Sunday's game against the Browns. Coach Mike Tomlin has already announced an intent to rest some starters, so Allen could end up seeing an uptick in defensive snaps.

  • Unavailable for Week 16

    Allen (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Colts.

    Analysis: Allen played every snap in last week's loss to the Bengals, but now he's set to miss his second game of the year. The Steelers' linebacker depth is hurting badly. Vince Williams and Avery Williamson are expected to start at inside linebacker in Week 16 as a result.

  • Six tackles Monday

    Allen had six tackles (two solo) during Monday's 27-17 loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old played a minor defensive role the first 13 weeks of the season, but he's played 56 defensive snaps in each of the past two games. Allen should continue to start at inside linebacker until Vince Williams (illness) returns from the COVID-19 list, which could happen this week.

  • Eight tackles Sunday

    Allen recorded eight tackles (five solo) across 56 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Allen performed well on Sunday after being thrust into a starter role with Vince Williams on the COVID-19 list. Should Williams remain sidelined, look for Allen to continue as starter.

  • Healthy moving forward

    Allen (foot) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Allen missed one game due to the foot injury, but he'll return to a special-teams role this Sunday versus the Browns. The Penn State product has recorded two solo tackles through three games this year.

  • Ruled out for Week 5

    Allen (foot) is officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

  • Dealing with foot injury

    Coach Mike Tomlin said Allen has plantar fasciitis and isn't expected to play Sunday versus the Titans, Ed Bouchette of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Allen has suited up in every game this season, playing strictly on special teams and recording two tackles in the process. However, he has a tricky injury and is expected to miss some games, although there isn't a clear timeline for his recovery.

  • Promoted from practice squad

    Allen was promoted to the Steelers' 53-man roster Friday.

    Analysis: Allen was unable to make Pittsburgh's season-opening roster and has since been on the team's practice squad. The 2018 fifth-round pick figures to primarily see time on special teams.
