The Indianapolis Colts announced Wednesday that the team has placed tight end Dwayne Allen (calf) on season-ending injured reserve and promoted fellow tight end Erik Swoope from the practice squad in a corresponding move.
The 4th-year tight end finishes the season with 16 receptions for 109 receiving yards and 1 receiving touchdown in 13 games (12 starts). With the Colts offensive line struggling this season, Allen was called upon to assume more of a blocking role.
Originally a 3rd round pick of the Colts in 2012, Allen is set to become a free agent at season’s end.
