Brandon Allen Status
rotoWire
Allen played in only one game in 2022, going 3-for-3 for 22 yards in mop-up duty against the Panthers. He'll be a free agent this offseason.
What it means:
Allen's lack of action reflected both Joe Burrow's relative health, and the lack of blowout games that the Bengals had. Burrow has expressed hope that the Bengals retain Allen to be his backup again.
rotoWire
The Bengals re-signed Allen on Friday.
What it means:
Allen made the initial 53-man roster as the backup to Joe Burrow, but he was let go a day later to make room for a trio of waiver claims. However, as expected, Allen has returned to the Bengals after the team placed Tycen Anderson and Isaiah Prince on IR.
rotoWire
The Bengals released Allen on Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
What it means:
Allen made the initial 53-man roster as the backup to Joe Burrow, but he's been let go to make room for a trio of waiver claims. Dehner suggests that Allen could return to the team after the next round of IR moves are made.

Allen is starting Sunday's preseason game against the Giants, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
What it means:
Allen started the Bengals' preseason opener against Arizona last weekend and completed all three of his pass attempts for 29 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions before sustaining a concussion. He should have more opportunities to prove himself during Sunday's preseason matchup.
rotoWire
Allen (concussion) returned to practice Monday after suffering a concussion in Friday's loss to the Cardinals, Richard Skinner of WKRC-TV reports.
What it means:
Allen has cleared concussion protocol, putting him on track to start again when the Bengals visit the Giants on Sunday for their second preseason game. The veteran played just one series in Friday's first preseason action before being ruled out with a concussion. The expectation was that Allen would've played the entire first half in the contest. This very well could be the case Sunday, especially with starter Joe Burrow still recovering from an offseason appendix surgery.
rotoWire
Allen was ruled out after suffering a concussion during Friday's preseason opener against Arizona.
What it means:
Allen was previously seen heading to Cincinnati's locker room after being evaluated for a concussion on the sidelines, and he'll likely have to miss extended time this preseason after this injury was later confirmed Friday night. As a result, Jake Browning stepped in as the Bengals' quarterback with starter Joe Burrow still recovering from an offseason appendix surgery. During Allen's presumptive absence, Browning will likely split snaps with undrafted signal-caller Drew Plitt this preseason.
