Three catches in preseason loss
Allen secured three of five targets for seven yards in the Chiefs' 16-15 preseason loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday.
The 2026 fifth-round pick has shown up on film in the first two preseason games, as he now has five receptions on 10 targets over that span. Allen has only netted 27 receiving yards in the process, but he's worked exclusively with backup quarterbacks such as Justin Fields and Garrett Nussmeier. Allen saw action into the second half Saturday and may well take the field again for the preseason finale at home against the Seahawks on Friday night.
