  • Traded to Washington

    The Panthers are trading Allen to Washington, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The Panthers reached an agreement with P.J. Walker earlier Monday, adding another body to a crowded QB room. Allen will now be reunited with Washington head coach Ron Rivera, who held the same role in Carolina from 2011 to mid-2019. With Dwayne Haskins unproven and Alex Smith (leg) uncertain to play football again, Allen is pretty much in the best situation he could've hoped for, though it doesn't mean he'll be handed a roster spot. The 24-year-old was one of the worst starting quarterbacks in…read more

  • Signs one-year contract

    Allen signed a one-year extension with the Panthers on Tuesday.

    Analysis: Allen initially had some success in 2019, when he took over the starting quarterback job, but he ultimately accounted for 46 sacks, 16 interceptions and 13 fumbles in 13 games, struggling to handle pressure or complete deep passes. The 24-year-old figures to compete with Will Grier (foot) for a backup job in 2020, though it isn't 100 percent clear if Cam Newton (foot) or someone else will be the starter.

  • Steps in for injured Grier

    Allen completed 25 of 41 pass attempts for 295 yards and threw one interception during Sunday's 42-10 loss to New Orleans.

    Analysis: With rookie signal-caller Will Grier sustaining a foot injury during the second quarter of Sunday's blowout defeat, Allen made his 13th appearance of 2019. The 23-year-old Allen enjoyed a promising start to his sophomore season by establishing a 7:0 TD:INT between Weeks 3 and 6, while leading his team to a 4-0 record during that span. From that point forward, however, Allen struggled mightily with ball security, tossing 10 touchdowns and 16 interceptions as Carolina limped to a final record of…read more

  • Officially moves to backup role

    Interim coach Perry Fewell named Will Grier the starting quarterback for Sunday's game at Indianapolis, pushing Allen to No. 2 on the depth chart, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Allen has had some highs and lows in his time as the starter this season with Cam Newton (foot) in recovery mode since Week 2. While leading the Panthers to a 5-1 record in his first six starts, Allen posted a 9:4 TD:INT and averaged 215.2 passing yards per game. The latter stat increased to 289.3 over the last six contests, but the team has lost all of them. Perhaps the final straw was Allen's propensity for turnovers, as he tossed 15 interceptions and fumbled 13 times, losing seven of them.…read more

  • Losing No. 1 gig

    Allen will likely be replaced by rookie Will Grier at quarterback for Sunday's game at Indianapolis, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Allen kicked off his starting tenure this season with a 5-1 record but has since lost six consecutive contests. During that latter stretch, he's averaged 289.3 yards per game and completed 63 percent of his passes but racked up an 8:11 TD:INT. With the Panthers out of the playoff picture, interim coach Perry Fewell will look to see what Grier, a 2019 third-round pick, can offer, relegating Allen to a reserve role.

  • May lose starting job

    Interim coach Perry Newell said he's evaluating the quarterback position and will announce Wednesday whether Allen or Will Grier draws the start under center Week 16 versus the Colts, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: In the aftermath of Allen's other rocky outings this season, Fewell or former coach Ron Rivera have always reaffirmed their faith in the second-year signal-caller by labeling him as the Panthers' starter early in the week. The decision to evaluate the position represents a departure from the norm and may signal the end of Allen's 12-game run atop the depth chart. After posting a 7:0 TD:INT through his first four outings, Allen has been in a tailspin ever since, completing only 60.7 percent of…read more

  • Commits three turnovers in loss

    Allen completed 25 of 41 pass attempts for 277 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions Sunday against the Seahawks. He also gained 25 yards on five carries in the 30-24 loss.

    Analysis: Allen's continued turnover problems led to speculation throughout the week that he could be removed from his starting role, but he was given another opportunity against Seattle's beatable pass defense. His issues continued, however, as he threw one interception in the first half before turning the ball over on back-to-back drives in the second half. Allen did complete a late touchdown pass to Curtis Samuel, but it was too little too late. The rookie now has 10 interceptions in five starts this…read more

  • Keeping starting job in Week 15

    Interim coach Perry Fewell said Monday that Allen will remain the Panthers' starting quarterback for the team's Week 15 matchup with the Seahawks, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Though the injured Cam Newton (foot) no longer poses a threat to replace Allen, the sophomore signal-caller's continued turnover problems have put him at risk of losing the starting gig to rookie third-round pick Will Grier. While Fewell will give Allen a chance to turn things around at home versus the Seahawks, Fewell noted that the top quarterback job will be a "week-to-week" evaluation. Since opening his run as starter with seven touchdown passes against zero interceptions in his first four…read more

  • Turnover troubles persist

    Allen completed 28 of 41 pass attempts for 293 yards, while throwing one touchdown and two interceptions during Sunday's 40-20 loss to the Falcons. He also carried the ball six times for 24 yards and a touchdown, losing one fumble.

    Analysis: Since establishing a 7:0 TD:INT and going 4-0 over his first four starts of the season, Allen has committed an avalanche of giveaways and steered Carolina to an abysmal 1-6 mark since Week 8. During the seven-game skid, Allen has thrown more interceptions (12) than touchdowns (nine), while committing an astronomical six fumbles (three of them lost). The upcoming matchup against Seattle could hardly be any less favorable, with the Seahawks allowing a meager 1.1 passing touchdowns per game since…read more

  • Retains starting job

    Coach Ron Rivera said Monday that Allen will "absolutely" remain the Panthers' starting quarterback, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Though Allen accounted for three touchdowns for a second straight game in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Redskins, he wasn't particularly efficient while directing the offense, completing only 58.7 percent of his throws for a meager 6.0 yards per attempt and committing two turnovers. The second-year signal-caller already has five multi-turnover outings through his 10 starts, taking some of the shine off what had been a productive run when he initially took over for the injured Cam Newton (foot) in…read more

  • Accounts for three TDs vs. Redskins

    Allen completed 27 of 46 pass attempts for 278 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception Sunday against the Redskins. He also carried four times for 22 yards and another touchdown in the 29-21 loss.

    Analysis: Allen completed touchdown passes to D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel while adding his first rushing score -- a 17-yard effort -- in the fourth quarter. The rookie's yardage total was his third best of the season, and he's now averaging 291.5 yards per game over the last four. In two games since his dismal effort against the Falcons a couple of weeks ago, Allen has accounted for six total touchdowns with one interception. He'll look to build on his recent success next Sunday against the Falcons.

  • Plays well in defeat

    Allen completed 23 of 36 passes for 256 yards and three touchdowns while adding a nine-yard rush in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Allen threw touchdowns of 51 and two yards to D.J. Moore, sandwiching a one-yard touchdown pass to Christian McCaffrey in between those scores. He did well to lead his team out of 14-0 and 31-18 holes, actually tying the score at 31-31 before the Saints won it with a field goal as time expired. This was a nice bounce-back performance from Allen after his forgettable zero-touchdown, four-interception outing against Atlanta in the previous game, and he should build on this effort in Week 13…read more

  • Nightmarish day against Falcons

    Allen completed 31 of 50 pass attempts for 325 yards but was intercepted four times during Sunday's 29-3 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old signal-caller appeared to be a viable streaming option early on this season, tossing seven touchdown passes, averaging 225 passing yards per game and committing zero interceptions between Weeks 3 and 6. Since that point, however, Allen has struggled mightily with turnovers, losing one fumble and logging nine interceptions to just three touchdown throws. The upcoming Week 12 matchup does not provide much reason for optimism, as the opposing Saints are coming off a…read more

  • Sets career high in passing yards

    Allen completed 28 of 43 pass attempts for 307 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Packers. He also rushed three times for 12 yards.

    Analysis: Although Allen averaged a pedestrian 7.1 yards per attempt, he set a new career high in passing yardage against a formidable Packers pass defense. He completed a two-yard touchdown pass to Curtis Samuel in the first quarter and had several other opportunities in the red zone, including some failed attempts in the final seconds that could've tied the game. Allen continues to grow into his role as a starter and will enjoy an excellent matchup next Sunday at home against the Falcons.

  • Likely starter moving forward

    Allen is expected to serve as the Panthers' starting quarterback for at least the remainder of the regular season after the team placed Cam Newton (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: Allen has acquitted himself well in his first six starts this season, completing 60.7 percent of his passes for 6.8 yards per attempt to go with a 9:4 TD:INT. With Newton not progressing from his Lisfranc injury as quickly as hoped, the 5-3 Panthers will cast their lot with Allen as the team looks to stay in the thick of the playoff race. Newton is technically eligible for reinstatement from IR during the postseason, but if Allen continues to play well and guides the team to the playoffs, coach…read more

    Coach Ron Rivera confirmed that Allen would remain the Panthers' starting quarterback for the Week 10 game against the Packers, Max Henson of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: After a three-turnover outing in a loss to San Francisco in Week 8, Allen bounced back in Sunday's win over the Titans, completing 17 of 32 attempts for 232 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in the victory. With Cam Newton (foot) progressing slowly in his rehab and speculation mounting that he'll eventually move to injured reserve, Allen looks poised to continue starting for the Panthers beyond Week 10.

  • Manages team to another victory

    Allen completed 17 of 32 passes for 232 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Week 9 against the Titans.

    Analysis: Allen recovered from a disastrous Week 8 performance to throw for multiple scores for the second time in his past five starts. He showed particular rapport with D.J. Moore, targeting him on nearly one-third of his throws for a total of 101 yards and a touchdown. While it was a positive performance for Allen, the team is clearly content to rely on Christian McCaffrey as the primary force behind their offense, as Allen has surpassed 35 pass attempts just once this season. Still, it's possible…read more

  • Getting another start

    Coach Ron Rivera said Allen will be the Panthers' starting quarterback Sunday against the Titans, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Cam Newton remains embedded in his rehab program, with no end in sight to his recovery from a Lisfranc injury in his left foot. As such, Allen will get his sixth consecutive start Week 9, though his output has wavered from week to week. Overall, he's completed 62 percent of his passes, averaged 211.8 passing yards per game and posted a 7:3 TD:INT. He'll aim for a bounce-back effort Sunday versus Tennessee's 15th-ranked pass defense (239.1 yards per game).

  • Likely to start again Week 9

    Allen is expected to retain the Panthers' starting quarterback job for the Week 9 game against the Titans with Cam Newton (foot) unlikely to be ready to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: After Newton was shut down following the Panthers' Week 2 loss to the Buccaneers, Allen was mostly dependable over his first four starts, completing 65.6 percent of his passes for 7.4 yards per attempt and a 7:0 TD:INT over that stretch. However, the second-year signal-caller saw his strong run come to a screeching halt Sunday in San Francisco, where he went 19-for-37 for 158 yards, no touchdowns and three picks in a 51-13 blowout loss. The poor showing has strengthened Newton's case for…read more

  • Tosses three picks in blowout loss

    Allen completed 19 of 37 pass attempts for 158 yards with no touchdowns and three interceptions during Sunday's 51-13 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old quarterback entered the contest ranking third in NFL history with 153 pass attempts to begin his career without committing an interception. Allen threw a pick on Carolina's third offensive drive, falling just short of Tom Brady's No. 2 all-time mark of 162 and providing San Francisco with its first takeaway of the day. The young signal-caller also absorbed an astronomical seven sacks, though he was able to avoid adding to his already-high total of four lost fumbles (second worst…read more

    Analysis: Coach Ron Rivera also indicated that Cam Newton will continue his rehab from a Lisfranc sprain in his left foot following the team's bye. Newton doesn't have a timeline for a return to practice, let alone games, so Allen should be under center for the foreseeable future. He hasn't racked up impressive yardage totals in his four starts, averaging 225.3 passing yards per game, but he's completed 65.6 percent of his throws while compiling seven touchdowns versus no interceptions.

    Allen completed 20 of 32 passes for 227 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Panthers' 37-26 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also rushed three times for three yards.

    Analysis: Another week, another victory with Allen at the helm. The second-year quarterback put together his fourth straight interception-free game while hitting a tight rotation of five pass catchers on the day. Allen connected with Curtis Samuel and Christian McCaffrey for his pair of scoring throws and saw an increase in offensive responsibility with McCaffrey being effectively stonewalled on the ground for most of the contest.

    Coach Ron Rivera confirmed that Allen would remain Carolina's starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers with Cam Newton (foot) not scheduled to join the Panthers in London, Brendan Marks of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Newton's slim chance at playing in Week 6 improved Tuesday after he was spotted at practice without a walking boot on his left foot, but Rivera quickly dismissed the notion of the signal-caller returning after a three-game absence due to the Lisfranc injury. Allen's fourth start of the season thus awaits him in London, where he'll look to shake off two straight lackluster outings in which he's combined to account for only one touchdown against three turnovers (all lost fumbles) while averaging…read more

  • Manages club to victory

    Allen completed 17 of 30 passes for 181 yards and a touchdown in Week 5 against the Jaguars. He also added one carry for four yards.

    Analysis: Allen wasn't particularly aggressive pushing the ball down the field, though he did connect with D.J. Moore for a 52-yard reception. Otherwise, his afternoon was highlighted by an 18-yard connection with Christian McCaffrey that went for Allen's lone touchdown of the game. Even with those two tosses, Allen averaged only 6.0 yards per attempt -- the third consecutive week that mark has declined. Still, he's led the team to a 3-0 record in the absence of Cam Newton (foot), who remains without a…read more

  • Will garner Week 5 start

    Coach Ron Rivera confirmed Monday that Allen would remain the starting quarterback for the Panthers' Week 5 matchup with the Jaguars, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After an impressive four-touchdown outing Week 3 in Arizona in place of the injured Cam Newton (foot), Allen wasn't quite as effective in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Texans. Though he completed more than 70 percent of his passes, Allen lost three fumbles and managed a more pedestrian 6.8 yards per attempt. Rivera stressed that Allen needs to do a better job of protecting the football, but the second-year signal-caller should have a decent amount of leash atop the depth chart with Newton likely…read more

  • Survives three fumbles

    Allen completed 24 of 34 passes for 232 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Panthers' 16-10 win over the Texans on Sunday. He also lost three fumbles.

    Analysis: Christian McCaffrey accounted for the Panthers' only touchdown with a three-yard rush shortly before halftime, yet Allen did enough through the air to keep the Texans honest and overcome his three fumbles. The second-year quarterback took three sacks and officially was hit five times overall, but he hung tough and ultimately helped lead two shorter fourth-quarter scoring drives, the second aided by a short field after a turnover. Allen connected with six different pass catchers on the…read more

  • Locked in for another start

    Allen will get another start Week 4 against the Texans, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Allen's success in Sunday's 38-20 win over Arizona may have contributed to the Panthers' decision to rule out Newton (foot) so early in the week. There was some talk of the 30-year-old quarterback returning to practice Wednesday, but he'll now be rested for at least one more game. Allen gets another matchup against a shaky pass defense, with the Texans allowing quarterbacks to complete 70.5 percent of their throws for 7.4 YPA and five touchdowns through three games.

    Allen completed 19 of 26 passes for 261 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Stepping in for the injured Cam Newton (foot), Allen breathed new life into the Panthers' aerial attack, completing passes to seven different receivers and leading the team to almost as many points as it scored in the first two games of the season combined. There's no timetable for Newton's return yet, but Allen's performance should give Carolina the confidence to give him as much time as he needs to get back to 100 percent.

  • Replacing Newton as starter

    Allen will replace Cam Newton (foot) as the starting quarterback for Sunday's game in Arizona, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Allen looked good in limited action last season, completing 20 of 31 passes (64.5 percent) for 266 yards (8.6 YPA) and two touchdowns, without any sacks or turnovers. Of course, nearly all of his work came in a meaningless Week 17 game against the Saints, facing a defense that rested some key players. In any case, Allen gets a favorable matchup for his first start of 2019, facing an Arizona defense that surrendered 657 passing yards and five touchdowns to Matthew Stafford and Lamar Jackson the…read more

    Allen likely will start Sunday's game at Arizona if Cam Newton (foot) is unable to play, Brendan Marks of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: During last Thursday's loss to the Buccaneers, Newton aggravated the mid-foot sprain that plagued him late in the preseason. He was seen in a walking boot Monday and didn't take the practice field Wednesday, increasing concerns about his immediate availability.

    Allen and Will Grier both took snaps with the first-team offense at Tuesday's practice while starter Cam Newton was limited to rehab work after aggravating a left foot injury in the Week 2 loss to the Buccaneers, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Newton has been bothered by the foot issue since the third week of the preseason and hasn't been in top form through the first two weeks of the regular season, as evidenced in particular by his lack of involvement in the run game (five attempts for minus-2 yards). General manager Marty Hurney labeled Newton as day-to-day and was unwilling to speculate on his availability for Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals, potentially leaving Allen or Grier in line for the starting assignment.

  • Limited starting appearance

    Allen completed four of six attempts for 41 yards and rushed once for 13 yards in Thursday night's 25-19 preseason win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Allen, who entered Carolina's third preseason game behind starter Cam Newton, drew the start in the team's final exhibition outing. Despite playing merely one series, Allen helped set up a field-goal opportunity, even though the ensuing kick was blocked. With rookie Will Grier committing two costly turnovers after Allen exited, it probably wouldn't be surprising if Allen is named the Panthers' second-string quarterback ahead of Week 1. Despite his recent foot issue, Newton is still fully…read more

  • Enters after Newton

    Allen completed three of six passes for 16 yards in Thursday night's 10-3 preseason loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Allen entered after Cam Newton's three drives, which actually ended in Newton suffering an ankle sprain. Although Allen hardly produced in his latest opportunity, if Newton's Week 1 status is impacted by his ailment, either Allen or rookie Will Grier would seemingly grow in importance, perhaps making Carolina's backup race even more worthy of monitoring.

  • Expected to start again

    Allen is slated to start Friday's preseason game against the Bills, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: With Cam Newton a healthy scratch during exhibition season to date, Allen has been given the first shot to run the Panthers offense. In preseason Week 1 against the Bears, Allen completed seven of 11 passes for 76 yards. Once his cameo is over, he'll hand the reins to Will Grier and Taylor Heinicke to close out the contest.

  • Starts in preseason opener

    Allen completed seven of 11 passes for 76 yards in Thursday night's 23-13 preseason win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Allen got the start to kick off Carolina's exhibition slate, and although the offense was forced to punt on its first series, Allen engineered a couple consecutive field-goal drives afterward. He was then replaced by rookie third-rounder Will Grier in the second quarter, and Grier would pass for 77 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Although Grier is favored to win the Panthers' second-string gig, Allen at least did alright for himself in a leading role Thursday.

  • Battling for backup QB job

    Allen is competing with Taylor Heinicke and Will Grier for the Panthers' No. 2 quarterback job, Brendan Marks of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Allen is the underdog in the competition, with Heinicke looking good in the spring and Grier coming in as a third-round pick. Allen did perform well in his lone start last season Week 17 against the Saints, completing 16 of 27 passes for 228 yards and two touchdowns while also adding a rushing score. Despite that performance, the 23-year-old is a long shot to crack Carolina's 53-man roster and may end up on the practice squad instead.

  • Putting in extra work

    Allen has been living and working out with quarterbacks Sam Darnold and Josh Allen since January, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

    Analysis: The trio of second-year quarterbacks appears to be training with former NFL quarterback and current throwing coach Jordan Palmer, throwing four days per week. While Kyle Allen is clearly the ugly duckling of the bunch, training with a pair of top-10 picks seems like a prudent way for the 2018 undrafted quarterback to spend his first professional offseason. At the very least, it further corroborates the shoulder injury he sustained in the season finale wasn't a long-term issue.

  • Injury not long-term concern

    Allen (shoulder) recently indicated that his injury isn't serious and said he expects to be back to full health in a matter of weeks, Bryan Strickland of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Serving as the Panthers' starting quarterback in the Week 17 win over the Saints thanks to injuries to both Cam Newton (shoulder) and Taylor Heinicke (elbow), Allen never returned to the field after absorbing a hard hit from Saints edge rusher Marcus Davenport in the second half. However, it seems the undrafted rookie didn't sustain a long-term injury, an encouraging development for a player who showed promise during his limited action. His performances in Week 17 and briefly in relief of…read more

  • Departs finale with shoulder injury

    Allen won't return to Sunday's game at New Orleans due to a shoulder injury, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte Observer reports. Allen's final line Sunday reads 16-for-27 passing for 228 yards and two touchdowns.

    Analysis: Allen took a massive hit from the Saints' Marcus Davenport midway through the fourth quarter and remained on the turf for some time. He subsequently had his right throwing shoulder examined on the sideline, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. With Allen and Taylor Heinicke (elbow) going down in back-to-back games in place of Cam Newton (shoulder), Garrett Gilbert takes over the offense for the final minutes of the Panthers' season.

  • Will start season finale

    Coach Ron Rivera confirmed Allen will start Sunday's season finale at New Orleans, Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Panthers will have a new starting signal-caller for the third straight game in Allen, an undrafted rookie out of Houston who was called up from the practice squad last week. Cam Newton was lost after the Week 15 loss to the Saints due to lingering discomfort in his right throwing shoulder, while Taylor Heinicke was moved to injured reserve Wednesday due to a left elbow. That leaves Allen as the next man up after he worked as the backup to Heinicke in Week 16 against the Falcons and…read more

  • On track for Week 17 start

    Allen is expected to serve as the Panthers' starting quarterback Sunday against the Saints after Carolina placed Taylor Heinicke (elbow) on injured reserve Wednesday, Max Henson of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: After being promoted from the practice squad ahead of the Panthers' Week 16 game against the Falcons, Allen made his NFL debut in the second quarter when Heinicke exited the contest with the elbow injury. Allen acquitted himself well by completing all four of his passes for 38 yards before Heinicke was cleared to return to action and finish out the 24-10 loss. The Panthers sent Heinicke for a follow-up exam Monday, with an MRI evidently determining that the signal-caller's injury was…read more

  • Could be needed Week 17

    Coach Ron Rivera noted that Allen will be the next man up to start the Panthers' Week 17 game against the Saints in the event Taylor Heinicke (elbow) is unavailable for the contest, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After being called up from the practice squad Thursday when it was revealed that Cam Newton (shoulder) would be shut down for the season, Allen stepped in as the backup for Heinicke in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Falcons. The undrafted rookie was pressed into action in the second quarter after Heinicke exited with the elbow injury and proceeded to complete all four of his pass attempts for 38 yards before Heinicke was eventually cleared to return. Though Heinicke finished out the contest, the…read more

    The Panthers signed Allen from their practice squad Thursday, Jelani Scott of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Allen's spot on the 53-man roster comes following the placement of Shaq Thompson (shoulder) on injured reserve. With Cam Newton (shoulder) expected to be shut down for the season, Allen will slot in as the Panthers' No. 2 quarterback behind Taylor Heinicke.
