What happened: Indianapolis placed Allen on Active/PUP on July 27, barring him from practice while permitting other team activities. His status changed early in training camp.
Why it matters: The move gives the second-round pick more time to compete for defensive snaps before the 2026 season. Once Allen practices, he cannot return to the Active/PUP designation during camp.
By the numbers: Indianapolis selected Allen with the No.
What to watch: Allen’s participation and workload will be the next markers as Indianapolis evaluates its linebacker rotation.
