Bengals' Brandon Allen: Should be available Sunday

Coach Zac Taylor indicated Thursday that Allen (knee) is on track to be available for the Bengals on Sunday against the Texans "if we need him," Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

While Taylor added that at this time he's not inclined to name a starting QB for Week 16, Baby anticipates that Allen -- who continued to practice Thursday -- will draw the assignment over Ryan Finley.
