Davis Allen - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

No targets in Week 15 Allen (shoulder) played 15 of the Rams' 65 snaps on offense and went without a target in Thursday's 12-6 win over the 49ers.

Impact Listed as questionable leading up to Thursday due to the shoulder injury, Allen received clearance to play but didn't carve out much of a role on offense. He finished third among Rams tight ends in snaps, trailing Colby Parkinson (32) and Hunter Long (22). With the Rams activated Tyler Higbee (knee) from the PUP list Tuesday in anticipation that he makes his season debut Sunday against the Jets, Allen could be a candidate for the inactive list.

Active for TNF Allen (shoulder) is active for Thursday night's contest against the 49ers, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official website reports.

Impact Allen was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury, but he's now all set to play in Week 15. The tight end hasn't caught a pass since Week 10 while garnering just one target over the last four contests.

Iffy for Thursday Night Football Allen (shoulder) is questionable to suit up Week 15 against San Francisco on Thursday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Impact Allen was a limited participant in practice Wednesday after being listed as DNP the first two days of the week, though Los Angeles didn't practice Monday and held a walkthrough Tuesday. His playing time has trended down since logging 81 percent of Los Angeles' offensive snaps Week 10, and he hasn't caught a pass in four straight games. If Allen misses Thursday's matchup, Hunter Long could be in line for more work on offense.

Unable to practice Tuesday Allen (shoulder) did not practice Tuesday.

Impact Allen's shoulder injury also kept him sidelined during Monday's practice session. The second-year pro is established in a clear backup role in Los Angeles' tight end rotation, having gone four straight games without a target. Even if Allen manages to suit up Thursday on the road against San Francisco, Colby Parkinson and/or Tyler Higbee (knee), who could be activated from the the reserve/PUP list for Week 15, will be better candidates for production.

Blanked on stat sheet Allen wasn't targeted during Sunday's 28-22 victory against the Patriots.

Impact Matthew Stafford only sent a single target towards a tight end, with Colby Parkinson catching a 19-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter. Allen still operated as the No. 1 tight end, on the field for 34 snaps compared to 19 for Parkinson and 18 for Hunter Long. Another tough task for the Rams' tight ends is up next in Week 12, as the Eagles have held the position to just under 40 yards per game.

Commands snap share in loss Allen secured five of six targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 23-15 loss to the Dolphins.

Impact With Colby Parkinson's role shrinking over the past few weeks, the second-year tight end out of Clemson was tapped to take over the primary tight end role this week, and he enjoyed season-high usage (56 out of 70 snaps on offense) to go along with a massive uptick in receiving production. Parkinson (11 snaps) and Hunter Long (9 snaps) both failed to record a target in the contest, which may signal a changing of the guard at tight end for the Rams. A tough task lies in wait in Week 11 against a Patriots defense that just held Cole Kmet to two catches for 13 yards as part of a complete shutdown of the Bears' offense.

NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to go Allen (back) is active Sunday against the Bears.

Impact Allen has been absent the last two weeks, but he was able to get on the practice field as a full participant Friday, paving the way for him to take the field Sunday. He should operate as the team's No. 2 tight end, behind Colby Parkinson.

Questionable versus Chicago Allen (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Impact Allen has missed the last two games but was upgraded to a full practice Friday after getting in limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. If Allen is able to return against the Bears, it would likely push Hunter Long back to TE3 duties. Colby Parkinson has virtually been an every-down tight end for Los Angeles.

Limited to open week Allen (back) was a limited participant at the Rams' practice Wednesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Allen was forced to miss the team's 27-24 win over the 49ers in Week 3 due to a back injury, but his ability to practice in any capacity Wednesday is a step in the right direction. The tight end will look to increase his workload at one of the team's two remaining practices this week prior to Sunday's matchup with the Bears.

Ruled out for Week 3 Allen (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against San Francisco, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact The Rams' No. 2 tight end will miss his second straight game. With Allen out last Sunday against the Cardinals, Colby Parkinson was essentially an every-down tight end before the starters were pulled late in the blowout loss. Hunter Long played 10 snaps mostly in mop-up duty and will be Parkinson's backup against the 49ers.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Still not practicing Allen (back) did not practice Wednesday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Impact Allen missed practice all of last week due to a back issue and didn't suit up for Sunday's loss to Arizona. His absence from practice to begin this week isn't a promising sign for his chance of returning to action against San Francisco in Week 3, though he'll have two more days to get back on the field prior to the release of Friday's final injury report. If Allen can't suit up Sunday, Hunter Long is likely to continue to back up Colby Parkinson at tight end.

SEPTEMBER 14 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Officially out Week 2 Allen (back) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Allen was originally deemed doubtful on Friday's final injury report, but his status was subsequently downgraded to out. The tight end is dealing with a back injury that kept him out of practice entirely throughout the week. Allen's upcoming absence Sunday will likely move Hunter Long into the Rams' No. 2 tight-end role behind Colby Parkinson.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Likely out Week 2 Allen (back) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's contest against the Cardinals, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Allen was held out of practice all week due to a back issue, so it's no surprise that he likely won't be suiting up in Week 2. If the Clemson product misses Sunday's contest as expected, Hunter Long will likely serve as the Rams' No. 2 tight end behind Colby Parkinson.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Wednesday Allen (back) didn't participate in the Rams' practice Wednesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Allen was added to the injury report Wednesday after failing to haul in his only target during the team's overtime loss to the Lions. If he ends up being unable to play versus the Cardinals on Sunday, Hunter Long will serve as Los Angeles' backup tight end.

SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Makes a pair of catches Allen secured two of four targets for 11 yards during Saturday's 13-9 victory against the Chargers.

Impact The second-year tight end out of Clemson was used sparsely in the contest, as were all of the Rams' tight ends. Colby Parkinson notably did not take the field for the second straight game, all but entrenching him as the starter during Tyler Higbee's (knee) absence. Allen and Hunter Long are in a competition to be No. 2 on the depth chart at the start of the season, but Long has failed to bring in a target through two preseason games. The duo's final chance to make their case will come against the Texans in a preseason Week 3 tilt.

AUGUST 19 • ROTOWIRE

Headed for No. 2 TE role Allen looks to be ahead of Hunter Long in a competition for the No. 2 TE spot early in the season, according to Cameron DaSilva of Rams Wire.

Impact Longtime starter Tyler Higbee is expected to miss the early part of the season, at the very least, after suffering ACL and MCL tears in a playoff loss at Detroit. Free-agent signing Colby Parkinson is on track to take over as the starter, but it isn't clear if he'll play as many snaps as Higbee normally would, potentially opening the door for Allen to have a decent-sized role. The Rams typically don't use multi-TE formations often, so it's also possible Allen gets most of his snaps on special teams even with Higbee out. Either way, the 2023 fifth-round pick has a tricky path to fantasy relevance despite showing some nice flashes late last season when both Higbee and Long were briefly unavailable.
