Indianapolis Colts rookie linebacker CJ Allen is expected to take on a significant defensive responsibility for the first time in Sunday's game, according to a report from SB Nation. The development marks a notable step in the first-year player's progression with the team.
Allen, who wears number 53, saw action in the Colts' November 1 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium. The increased role suggests the coaching staff has growing confidence in the rookie's ability to handle key assignments within the defensive scheme.
