Lands in Tennessee The Titans agreed to terms Thursday with Allen on a one-year contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Allen appeared in three games last season as Brock Purdy's top backup in San Francisco. Now, the veteran journeyman joins a Tennessee quarterback room that currently only houses himself and Will Levis, but which should see further additions via either free agency or April's draft, in which the team holds the No. 1 overall pick.

Mac Jones finally joins 49ers, 4 years after they nearly drafted him

Starts one game in 2024 Allen completed 17 of 30 pass attempts for 199 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions across three games with the 49ers in 2024.

Impact Allen finally made his on-field debut with San Francisco after spending much of his three-year tenure as a member on the practice squad. The veteran backup earned a start in Week 12 in place of then-injured starter Brock Purdy, but mixed results led to fellow backup Joshua Dobbs starting the team's final regular season contest. The 31-year-old Allen will become an unrestricted free agent this upcoming offseason, likely providing depth for San Francisco or another club if signed ahead of the 2025 campaign.

Emergency QB for Week 17 Allen (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Lions, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Allen will serve as the emergency No. 3 quarterback Monday behind starter Brock Purdy and backup Joshua Dobbs. That means Allen will only be allowed to play if both Purdy and Dobbs were to be taken out of the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Serving as emergency QB in Week 13 Allen (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against Buffalo and will be the 49ers' emergency third quarterback, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Allen will drop to the No. 3 role at quarterback in Week 13 after completing 17 of 29 passes for 199 yards and a touchdown, while also throwing an interception in the team's Week 12 loss to the Packers. Joshua Dobbs will take over in the backup role behind Brock Purdy versus the Bills.

Impact Allen was asked to step in for injured starter Brock Purdy (shoulder) on Sunday, and the results were on track for a backup quarterback playing in a hostile environment against a contending franchise. The 32-year-old Allen had the offense scoring just one touchdown while being responsible for two turnovers on the day. It sounds like Purdy's injury may only cost the star quarterback this one game, which would push Allen back to the No. 2 role when San Francisco visits Buffalo next Sunday.

49ers QB Brock Purdy to miss Sunday's game vs. Packers with shoulder injury

Named as Week 12 starter Allen will replace Brock Purdy (shoulder) as the starting quarterback Sunday at Green Bay, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan made the announcement Friday afternoon, revealing that the team was surprised by the degree of pain in Purdy's throwing shoulder when he attempted to practice Thursday. Purdy was listed as a limited participant for that session, sandwiched between absences Wednesday and Friday. 49ers GM John Lynch said Friday morning that MRIs on the shoulder didn't suggest a long-term injury, but it nonetheless seems possible at this point that Allen could make multiple starters. Beyond Sunday, the 49ers play at Buffalo in Week 13 (Dec. 1), at home against Chicago in Week 14 (Dec. 8) and at home against the Rams in Week 15 (Dec. 12, TNF). The game in Green Bay this Sunday will mark Allen's first NFL start since 2001 (with Cincinnati). He's gone 2-7 as a starter, with a career 56.7 completion percentage, 6.1 YPA, 10 TD passes and six INTs, adding 34 rush attempts for 63 yards and no TDs.
