Allen returns at a $850K salary as an exclusive rights free agent. The 25-year-old played 254 snaps on special teams and made two spot starts in 13 appearances last year. Allen, who was cut by the Rams as a 2019 seventh-rounder, will be a restricted free agent next offseason.

Allen was considered questionable due to the hamstring injury but is ready to suit up for the season finale. The 24-year-old should work in his usual role on special teams against Indianapolis.

Allen worked as a limited practice participant this week and appears to have a decent chance of playing Week 17. The 24-year-old has exclusively played special teams since signing with the Jaguars earlier in December, so his availability is unlikely to impact the defense in the season finale.

This move comes after linebacker Jake Ryan was placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. Allen has bounced around a bit in his young NFL career as this will be his third team as a rookie. He'll add depth behind Donald Payne in the middle of the Jacksonville linebacking corps.
