Has the linebacker battle for the Indianapolis Colts taken an unexpected turn late in training camp?
For much of the offseason, the thought was that rookie CJ Allen would start, and then there was an open competition to determine who would be playing alongside him.
Unfortunately, Allen has missed a lot of time this summer, dealing with a calf and then a hamstring injury. For many players, but particularly rookies, overcoming missed time isn't easy.
Allen has been back on the field as of late, but during Thursday's second joint practice with Atlanta, it was Jaylon Carlies who took the bulk of the first-team reps, alongside of Akeem Davis-Gaither.
Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan noted that Carlies has consistently started over the last week of training camp.
