News this morning on Jared Allen is that he may have a third-degree shoulder sprain in his right shoulder. For a first- or second-degree shoulder sprain, the treatment would just be rest. Allen was reported saying that the degree of this injury is a "three or something." He could potentially miss two to four weeks due to this injury.
Allen has said he is not sure whether he will play or not, and we will see as the week progresses.
For those who don't remember, Allen was injured when sacking Matt Schaub of the Houston Texans for one of his two sacks this past Sunday. The team rallied to a 28-21 victory after the star DE received a painkilling injection at halftime.
With Allen out on Sunday, we very well could see Brian Robison stepping in to fill Allen's maniacal shoes.
Update: Jared Allen -- as well as wide receiver Robert Ferguson -- were not on the field during the portion of practice the media is allowed to attend.
As more information comes along, we will be updating this blog.
