Austin Allen: Joins practice squad

Allen is set to join the Packers' practice squad.

Allen spent training camp competing for the third tight end spot behind rookies Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft. He ultimately came up short but will now join the practice unit as the team's de facto No. 4 tight end behind the two other players as well as waiver claim Ben Sims. The 24-year-old spent the first month of his rookie campaign on the Giants' practice squad before landing a reserve/future contract with the Packers in January.
