Allen will not travel with the team to
Indianapolis for Sunday's game against the Colts. His heel has
been bothering the six-time Pro Bowler for several weeks, though
coach Matt Eberflus said Friday it is improving. He also said
Allen is dealing with a personal matter.
“He’ll be ready when he’s ready, when his body tells him,"
Eberflus said. "We have a really good training staff and those
guys are trying to get him back as soon as possible. Keenan has
been working diligently to get that done. The process will — he
has been on the field; he has been moving and cutting. We’ll see
where it goes next week.”
Allen, acquired from the Los Angeles Chargers in the offseason,
caught four passes in Chicago's season-opening win over
Tennessee. He missed last week's loss at Houston.
Guard Nate Davis (groin) is questionable. Eberflus said running
back Travis Homer had surgery for a finger injury he suffered in
practice and would be placed on injured reserve.
Chicago's revamped offense ranks near the bottom of the NFL
through two games. Williams, the former Heisman Trophy winner
from Southern California, is off to a rough start, with just 267
yards passing and one of the league's worst completion
percentages (56.1). No one has been sacked more times (nine),
and he has not thrown a touchdown pass.
