Seeing additional QB reps Allen received extra snaps under center during Wednesday's training camp sessions while starting quarterback Joe Burrow was sidelined due to surgery, Jay Morrison of The Athletic r...
Impact Allen and third-stringer Jake Browning were the only two quarterbacks to see action during Cincinnati's practice Wednesday. The two should continue to see additional reps with Burrow's availability uncertain after undergoing emergency surgery to remove his appendix Tuesday. It's unknown if the starter's status for Week 1 is under duress given the uncommon nature of this procedure, but Allen should be the next in line to play quarterback in the meantime.

Scheduled for free agency Allen completed 17 of 34 pass attempts for 149 yards and two touchdowns across six appearances in 2021.
Impact Allen also logged seven carries for minus-1 yards and committed one fumble. The bulk of his NFL action this season came Week 18 at Cleveland, a spot start in which Cincinnati lost 21-16 to close out the regular season. Now scheduled for free agency after the conclusion of the postseason, Allen may have to search for his next backup role elsewhere.

Impact Allen drew the start for Joe Burrow (knee) and wasn't asked to do much.

Burrow will be right back under center when the Bengals begin the postseason with a wild-card game next weekend.

Likely filling in for Burrow Allen is expected to serve as the Bengals' starting quarterback Sunday against the Browns after Joe Burrow (knee/finger) acknowledged that he plans on serving as the backup for the...
Impact Burrow (knee/finger) said he's healthy enough to play but nonetheless will be rested as the Bengals look to preserve his health ahead of the playoffs. Allen didn't show much in five starts last season in place of an injured Burrow, throwing for only 925 yards and five touchdowns. He would theoretically have a better group of pass catchers to work with this time around, if not for the possibility of the Bengals resting other key skill-position players besides Burrow. Of course, there's also some chance the Browns will be missing a number of key players, with quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) having already been placed on injured reserve and a slew of others missing Wednesday's practice. Allen and Cleveland's Case Keenum are expected to be the starting signal-callers.

Likely Week 18 starter Allen is expected to start Sunday's game against the Browns, while Joe Burrow (knee, finger) will be rested for the playoffs, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact The looming assignment is the result of the expectation that Joe Burrow (knee) isn't in line to play in Week 18. Meanwhile, RB Joe Mixon (reserve/COVID-19) is also expected to miss the game, and it's a good bet other starters will be held out or limited, though Taylor did say supertsar rookie Ja'Marr Chase could "possibly" play. Allen has attempted only five passes this season, after making five starts last year (1-4) and completing 90 of 142 passes for 925 yards, five touchdowns and four interceptions.
