What happened: Allen bruised his shin during Saturday's practice after standing out early in camp. He returned Friday, six days after the injury.

Why it matters: The return puts Allen back into the Kansas City Chiefs' preseason evaluation at wide receiver. His early camp performance had earned him attention before the interruption.

By the numbers: Allen was the No.

What to watch: The next checkpoint is Allen's workload as the Chiefs continue preseason preparations.
