CJ Allen Back Leading Colts Defense | Indianapolis Colts News

Colts rookie linebacker CJ Allen makes a strong return to full training camp practice after missing early sessions with a calf injury, showing immediate leadership and familiarity with the playbook. Despite no flashy plays, he consistently found the right spots, flashed blitzing and run-stopping ability, and even called out plays during drills — earning the green dot, signaling his role as the defense’s QB. With his college experience in a complex system and solid reps as a starter, Allen is poised to bring stability to the middle linebacker spot. The team’s confidence in him is high, and with pads coming next week, fans will get their first real test of his impact on the new-look defense.
