According to 9NEWS Denver’s Mike Klis, the Denver Broncos placed UDFA rookie edge rusher, Christopher Allen, on the season-ending injured reserve. The rookie out of Alabama was the highest-paid UDFA of the bunch and had promise, but a nagging foot injury will end his rookie season early.
The Broncos have decided to essentially redshirt rookie LB Christopher Allen. He was placed on season-ending IR after his foot didn't come around as hoped 11 months after his Lisfranc injury. He'll get $430K salary. Broncos still like him. #9sport

Allen’s senior season at Alabama ended early because of a Lisfranc injury and that injury continued to nag him throughout the draft process, the offseason, and into Broncos' training camp.
