Indianapolis Colts rookie linebacker CJ Allen is expected to enter the starting lineup once he fully recovers from an ankle injury, according to a report from the Indianapolis Star. The development could significantly reshape the team's defensive depth chart as the season progresses.
Allen, a first-year player, has been working his way back from the injury that has kept him sidelined. His eventual insertion into the starting role would mark a notable step for the rookie and could impact the Colts' linebacker rotation and defensive scheme.
The Colts have not specified an exact timeline for Allen's return to full participation, but the expectation is that he will assume starting duties when medically cleared.
