Just hours before Santa Claus comes to town, the Cincinnati Bengals got an early Christmas present.
Brandon Allen (knee) had a full practice on Thursday for the first time since suffering a bone bruise two Sundays ago against the Miami Dolphins. Allen was limited on Wednesday, so as long as he doesn’t have a setback on Friday, he should be able to play this weekend against the Houston Texans.
Head coach Zac Taylor did not say whether or not Allen will start over Ryan Finley if he’s able to play, but that should be the expectation.
