ZACH ALLEN INJURES HAMSTRING IN BRONCOS WIN OVER CARDINALS
Denver Broncos defensive tackle Zach Allen injured his hamstring late in Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Allen left the field in the fourth quarter, when Denver held a substantial lead. The Broncos won 30-16, and Allen remained on the sideline until the game ended. Speaking to reporters at a post-match press conference, Allen said he would “be fine” after the injury.
Allen's recorded figures against the Cardinals included three tackles before he left the game. He also registered three quarterback hits during the match. Before facing Arizona, Allen had recorded 21 tackles for the season. His figures entering Sunday's game also included 4.5 sacks and a forced fumble. Those season figures preceded the tackles and quarterback hits credited to him against the Cardinals.
Denver wide receiver Jaylen Waddle also left the game in the fourth quarter. The available information did not specify why Waddle left or give details of his condition after the match. No update on Waddle's condition was available heading into Week 8. Allen gave his own assessment after the game, while the information available after Sunday's win gave no date for his return to play.
