Colts rookie defender returns to practice after missing time with injury
Colts' rookie LB CJ Allen returned to the practice field on Sunday after missing time with an injury.
The Indianapolis Colts welcomed rookie linebacker CJ Allen back to practice on Sunday, following a week-long absence due to a hamstring injury. Allen had also missed several practices earlier while on the PUP list, recovering from a calf injury. This marked Allen's first practice appearance in over a week. Allen is currently expected to start at linebacker for the Colts, having impressed during his brief time with the team.
However, he will need to catch up on missed practice time, particularly for a rookie. Initially, Allen wore the green dot for the Colts' defense, a role that might now be taken by safety Cam Bynum. The starting position next to Allen remains uncertain, with Akeem Davis-Gaither, Jaylon Carroll, Austin Ajiake, and Bryce Boettcher all vying for the spot.
