Indianapolis Colts rookie linebacker CJ Allen is set to take on a significant defensive role for the first time in Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The 2026 matchup at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville on November 1 marked Allen's initial opportunity to handle key defensive responsibilities. The rookie, wearing number 53, was seen reacting after a play during the contest.
Allen's expanded duty comes as the Colts look to integrate the first-year player into their defensive scheme.
