In Friday night’s preseason opener against Tampa Bay at MetLife Stadium, Allen, who sustained an MCL sprain in his left knee in Week 4 at Miami last season, roared out of the gate in the first quarter.
On the Jets’ second offensive series, Allen (6-1, 235) , a third-year player out of Wisconsin, carried the ball three straight times, and on the third touch, he blasted through the Bucs’ defensive line and rumbled for a 31-yard to the end zone.
