Overview
- Allen was hurt on a second‑quarter kickoff return when contact to the outside of his left knee caused it to bend inward, and he walked gingerly to the locker room before being ruled out.
- Ian Rapoport reported that Allen suffered an MCL sprain and is likely to be placed on injured reserve, with additional opinions planned, though the team has not announced a diagnosis.
- Former NFL team doctor David J. Chao also flagged concern for a potential MCL injury based on the play, pending the Jets’ medical evaluation.
- Before exiting, Allen had four carries for 26 yards and earlier lost a fumble at the 1‑yard line that Miami converted into a touchdown drive.
- With Allen sidelined, the Jets leaned on Breece Hall with Isaiah Davis and Kene Nwangwu in reserve, and New York fell to 0-4 with a 27-21 loss to the Dolphins.
