Turns in limited practice
Allen (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.
Allen wasn't able to practice Wednesday, but his return to field Thursday in a limited capacity creates more confidence in his ability to play through the injury in Sunday's game against the Packers. However, unless Allen -- who's averaging 99.4 receiving yards per game this season -- upgrades to full participation Friday, he'll likely head into the weekend with an injury designation.

"We're going to keep exploring, making adjustments, so that we can find that rhythm that I've been talking about," Staley said. "We know that Austin is a good running back. We just haven't found any rhythm in the last couple of weeks in the run game. Just need to keep after it and keep working hard in practice."
