Jonathan Allen Misses Practice Due to Load Management

Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Jonathan Allen (knee) missed his second consecutive practice ahead of the team's matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Head coach Zac Taylor characterized the absence as "load management" to give the veteran rest. Allen has been a crucial component of the Bengals' defensive front, and his status remains worth monitoring as the team prepares for their first AFC North contest of the 2026 season.
