Allen (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Houston, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
After being forced out of Week 2 versus Kansas City with a sprained shoulder, Allen seems truly questionable for Week 3. If he can't go, K'Lavon Chaisson figures to see more opportunities on the edge.

Jaguars' Josh Allen: Quick recovery expected
Rotowire
Allen is considered day-to-day due to a shoulder sprain suffered in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
That's good news for the Jaguars and Allen, who is one of the team's most productive players on defense. However, his status during practice will be worth monitoring in the days ahead leading up to the team's Week 3 matchup with the Texans.

Rotowire

Jaguars' Josh Allen: Monstrous production in Week 1
Rotowire
Allen recorded 10 tackles, including three sacks, in Sunday's 31-21 win at the Colts.
Allen got a blazing start Sunday to what he hopes will be the second double-digit sack season of his career. Some of his sack production could be chalked up to inexperience from rookie Indianapolis quarterback Anthony Richardson (knee), who took four total sacks in Week 1, but Allen and his counterpart Travon Walker are obviously going to be a force to be reckoned with in 2023.

Jaguars' Josh Allen: Absent from injury report Wednesday
Rotowire
Allen (undisclosed) was not on Jacksonville's injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game at Indianapolis.
Allen temporarily stepped away from practice late in August, but it looks like he's back in time to start in Week 1 at the Colts. The 2019 first-rounder has not posted double-digit sack totals since his rookie season despite playing a full 17 games last year, so there's heavy pressure to perform as he enters a contract season.

Jaguars' Josh Allen: Stepping away from practice
Rotowire
Allen (undisclosed) was excused from practice Monday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Allen is expected to return later in the week but it's not clear why he needed to step away. The Kentucky product should be one of the team's starters at outside linebacker once again this season.

Jaguars' Josh Allen: Forces strip-sack in win
Rotowire
Allen recorded six tackles (three solo), including one sack, and a forced fumble during Sunday's 31-3 win against the Texans.
Allen logged his third sack in the last four weeks, forcing a fumble as he brought down Houston signal-caller Davis Mills early in the second quarter. This also marked the Jaguars' only takeaway in this massive blowout. Allen also paced Jacksonville with 74 percent of defensive snaps played since the team benched its starters early in the second half. Allen has now accumulated six sacks over 16 games this season, and he should have a good chance to get after Titans quarterback Joshua Dobbs in Week 18, as Tennessee has allowed the seventh-most sacks in the league with 45.

Jaguars' Josh Allen: Two sacks in win
Rotowire
Allen recorded three tackles (two solo), two sacks and a forced fumble during Sunday's 24-0 win over the Colts.
After a modest performance in the season opener, Allen got back on track in Week 2. He strip-sacked Matt Ryan at the end of the first quarter, but Indianapolis was able to secure the loose ball. The fourth-year pass rusher took down the veteran quarterback again on a third-down play at the beginning of the second quarter. If healthy, Allen will likely be a double-digit sack candidate for the 2022 campaign.

Jaguars' Josh Allen: Tests positive for COVID-19
Rotowire
Allen was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday after testing positive for the virus, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Allen is unvaccinated, per Mark Long of the Associated Press, meaning he'll miss Weeks 16 and 17 while going through the health and safety protocols. K'Lavon Chaisson and Jordan Smith should see more run at outside linebacker in the meantime for Jacksonville.

The 24-year-old played 49 of 69 defensive snaps and brought down Teddy Bridgewater for a 16-yard loss during the first quarter, which helped hold the Broncos to a field goal. Allen is off to a strong start this season with eight total tackles and two sacks through two games.

Jaguars' Josh Allen: Records sack in season opener
Rotowire
Allen had five tackles (three solo) and one sack during Sunday's 37-21 loss at Houston.
It was Jacksonville's lone sack of the afternoon as Tyrod Taylor had an efficient day leading the Texans offense. Allen recorded only 2.5 sacks in eight games last season before going down with an injury, but he's off to a strong start in 2021.

Jaguars' Josh Allen: Will miss extended time
Rotowire
Coach Doug Marrone said Monday that Allen avoided ligament damage in his knee but will miss "considerable time," John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
Marrone didn't elaborate on the nature of Allen's injury, but he made it sound like an IR stint could be in the works. The Jaguars won't rush their star defensive end back with the playoffs out of reach, so rookie K'Lavon Chaisson figures to get an extended look as a starting defensive end.

Jaguars' Josh Allen: Knee injury ends day
Rotowire
Allen (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.
Allen was initially pegged doubtful upon sustaining his knee injury at the 8:52 mark of the third quarter, but he was subsequently downgraded to out. With Jacksonville trailing 17-3 entering the fourth quarter, rookie K'Lavon Chaisson will be counted on in a more integral pass-rush role for the remainder of the contest.

Jaguars' Josh Allen: Inactive against Detroit
Rotowire
Allen (knee) won't suit up in Sunday's game against Detroit, Michael DiRocco of ESPN reports.
Allen drew a questionable tag this week after only suiting up in practice on a limited basis. It will be the second straight game missed for the Kentucky product, who has two sacks this campaign already. In his stead, look for rookie K'Lavon Chaisson to take on an increased role for Week 6.

Jaguars' Josh Allen: Able to practice on limited basis
Rotowire
Allen (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Allen's knee injury kept him out of game action for the first time in his career last week against the Texans, but the pass rusher has taken a step in the right direction after being unable to practice in the lead-up to last week's absence. Consider Allen more likely than not to suit up Sunday against the Lions, but it's best to monitor his practice participation as the week unfolds to be sure.

Jaguars' Josh Allen: Knee injury pops up
Rotowire
Allen (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.
This is the first we're hearing of a knee injury for Allen, though he missed a Wednesday practice earlier in the season with a calf injury and didn't wind up on the final injury report that week. Allen's practice participation should be monitored ahead of Sunday's clash with the Texans, as he's a key piece on the Jacksonville defense with two sacks and seven quarterback hits through four games.

Jaguars' Josh Allen: Tallies another sack
Rotowire
Allen had two tackles and a sack during Sunday's 33-25 loss to the Bengals.
The 2019 first-round pick didn't record a sack through the first two games of the season, but he now has sacks in back-to-back contests. Allen has only seven total tackles, so he'll need to be more involved beyond the pass rush to be a viable IDP option.

Jaguars' Josh Allen: Sidelined Wednesday
Rotowire
Allen (calf) did not practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Allen was forced to exit Sunday's win against the Colts due to calf cramps, but coach Doug Marrone said he expects the second-year pro to return to practice Thursday. If Allen is indeed able to resume handling practice reps without much delay, he'll be trending in the right direction to suit up against Tennessee in Week 2.

Jaguars' Josh Allen: Recovering from calf cramps
Rotowire
Allen is expected to sit out Wednesday's practice due to a calf issue, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Allen was removed in the second half of Jacksonville's Week 1 win over the Colts after experiencing some calf cramping. Before leaving, the second-year edge rusher totaled two tackles (one solo) over 46 defensive snaps. Coach Doug Marrone downplayed the calf concern, saying that he expects Allen to return to practice Thursday. Assuming that's the case, Allen should be in good shape to handle a full workload in Sunday's game at Tennessee.
