Practices Sunday Allen (hamstring) was a full participant in Sunday's practice, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Impact Allen suffered a hamstring injury in early August, sustaining the injury just days after returning to practice from a calf issue. The rookie second-rounder is finally ready to resume team activities and continue preparing for his role as the starting middle linebacker. Allen's return means Austin Ajiake and West Weeks will likely see fewer opportunities in Saturday's preseason game against the Falcons.

Dealing with hamstring injury Allen was unavailable for the Colts' practice Thursday due to a hamstring injury, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Impact Allen returned to practice July 31 after opening training camp on the active/PUP list with a calf strain, but he has now suffered another injury. Head coach Shane Steichen announced the injury to the media after Thursday's practice, outlining that the linebacker currently has no timetable to return. If Allen is forced to miss the team's preseason opener against the Patriots on Aug. 13, Austin Ajiake and West Weeks would be two of the top candidates to see an increase in workload at middle linebacker during the contest.
