Colts' CJ Allen: Practices Sunday
Allen (hamstring) was a full participant in Sunday's practice, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Allen suffered a hamstring injury in early August, sustaining the injury just days after returning to practice from a calf issue. The rookie second-rounder is finally ready to resume team activities and continue preparing for his role as the starting middle linebacker. Allen's return means Austin Ajiake and West Weeks will likely see fewer opportunities in Saturday's preseason game against the Falcons.

Colts' CJ Allen: Dealing with hamstring injury
Allen was unavailable for the Colts' practice Thursday due to a hamstring injury, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Allen returned to practice July 31 after opening training camp on the active/PUP list with a calf strain, but he has now suffered another injury. Head coach Shane Steichen announced the injury to the media after Thursday's practice, outlining that the linebacker currently has no timetable to return. If Allen is forced to miss the team's preseason opener against the Patriots on Thursday, Austin Ajiake and West Weeks would be two of the top candidates to see an increase in workload at middle linebacker during the contest.

Colts' CJ Allen: Comes off active/PUP list
Allen (calf) will practice Friday after being removed from the active/PUP list, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.
Allen sat out the first two practices of training camp due to what GM Chris Ballard described as a muscle strain in Allen's calf, but the rookie second-round pick has now been cleared for action. The 53rd overall selection out of Georgia is the favorite to start out of the gate at middle linebacker for the Colts.

Colts' CJ Allen: Selected by Indianapolis
The Colts selected Allen in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 53rd overall.
Allen earned himself a starting role in Georgia's defense during his rookie years in 2023 and emerged as a leader for the Bulldogs over his last two college seasons. He was named to both the All-American First-Team and All-SEC First Team in 2025 after posting 88 total tackles, including 3.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and four pass defenses across 13 games. Allen missed just one game during that season despite undergoing meniscus clean-up surgery on his left knee, and that kind of drive to stay on the field, coupled with his athletic frame, above-average speed and versatility both as a run stopper and coverage guy could help him emerge as a reliable player in the Colts defense for years to come. Allen has a great chance to start right away as a rookie, considering his main competition at middle linebacker will come from Austin Ajiake.
