What happened: The case advanced this week after Allen's Aug. 30 arrest in downtown Indianapolis. Allen joined Indianapolis on a one-year deal Aug. 18 and now faces formal charges early in the 2026 season.

Why it matters: The development extends an off-field issue that surfaced shortly after Allen signed a one-year deal with the Colts. It keeps a veteran addition in focus as Indianapolis moves through the opening stretch of the regular season.

By the numbers: Allen was signed Aug. 18, arrested Aug. 30 and formally charged this week with two misdemeanor offenses. Court documents cited in social context say he registered a .224 on a portable breath test.

What to watch: Watch for the first scheduled court date and for any public response from the Colts or the NFL.
