Overview

• The second-year back injured his left knee on a kickoff return during Monday’s 27-21 loss to the Dolphins and was quickly ruled out.
• Reports identified the injury as a sprained MCL, and Allen sought a second opinion before the team finalized the injured reserve move.
• Allen had been the short-yardage option and primary kickoff returner, shifting more responsibility to Breece Hall and expanding Isaiah Davis’s role.
• Special teams depth is unsettled, with returner Kene Nwangwu day-to-day because of a hamstring issue and a corresponding roster move expected.
• Allen has 76 rushing yards and one touchdown this season after a 334-yard rookie year for a Jets offense ranked third in rushing.
