Braelon Allen News: Back at practice Friday

Allen (knee) returned to practice Friday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Allen missed the previous three days due to knee soreness. The second-year back appears to have a big leg up on the competition for the Jets' No. 2 running back gig and could even take more of a share of the work from Breece Hall under new offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand, who comes from a Lions offense where both David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs are prominently featured. Allen has been mentioned as the possible Montgomery side of that duo with the Jets.
