Due to COVID-19 related NFL policies, last week was the first time that Bengals quarterback Brandon Allen was in the stadium for a Bengals game.
Although that is a bit unusual, the Bengals have been even stricter with him. He was the team’s “quarantine quarterback” who attended quarterback meetings virtually and who coaches actively kept away from other players at practice.
This was a very smart move by Zac Taylor and his staff. I’m sure the rest of the NFL is adopting something similar after seeing the entire Denver Broncos go into last week’s game with their entire quarterback depth chart on the COVID-19 list.
