Indianapolis Colts rookie linebacker CJ Allen is set to take on a significant defensive responsibility for the first time in Sunday's game, according to a report from SB Nation.
The 2026 draft pick, wearing number 53, has been preparing for an expanded role after appearing in the Colts' recent matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars on November 1 at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida.
Author Luke Schultheis noted that Allen's increased duty comes as the team looks to bolster its defense heading into the weekend contest.
