Davis Allen is the most obvious overstock at tight end for the Rams; the former fifth-round pick may be good enough to be a team's TE2, but entering a contract year, he won't be better than a TE4 on the Rams roster. Barring injury, he may be the odd man out, though he could have trade value to the Packers for a fourth- or fifth-round pick given Green Bay's desperation at the position.NegativeRoleAug 16, 2026
Davis Allen is listed as a co-starter on the team's unofficial depth chart at tight end. The question of whether the Rams can keep five tight ends is raised, with the implication that Max Klare isn't getting cut as a second-round pick. If they do keep five tight ends, it signals that LA will again be deploying heavier personnel and fewer receivers may stick on the 53-man roster as a result.PositiveDepth ChartAug 16, 2026
Allen was not subjected to preseason action, which the source identifies as a telling sign of roster security. He was listed as a co-starter in the team's recently released unofficial depth chart. The source states: 'Allen was probably always safe. He was listed as a co-starter in the team's recently released unofficial depth chart...

Los Angeles Rams tight end Davis Allen will miss time during training camp with a quad injury, said head coach Sean McVay on Monday, without providing any concrete estimate for a return. This injury raises questions about Allen's potential roster status given the depth at tight end with Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, and impressing rookies/prospects like Terrance Ferguson and Max Klare.NegativeInjuryAug 4, 2026
Fourth-year tight end Davis Allen is dealing with a quad injury in training camp and is expected to miss at least two weeks. Sean McVay described it as a soft tissue injury requiring conservative recovery; McVay stated "You don't want to rush him back" and emphasized Allen "is going to be a big part of what we do this year." Missed practice reps during training camp can slow momentum when timing and chemistry are being refined before the regular season.NegativeDepth ChartJul 30, 2026

Allen enters his fourth season in L.A. on the final year of his rookie contract, coming off his best pro season: played all 20 games with six starts, logged 585 offensive reps (second among Rams tight ends) plus 211 on special teams. According to Next Gen Stats, he was on the field for 100 percent of snaps in the Rams' three-tight-end '13' formation. He caught 24 of 33 targets (three drops) for 208 yards, three touchdowns, and 12 first downs. Originally a receiver-first tight end, Allen has significantly upgraded his blocking technique and hand work, becoming a drive blocker. Best suited to shorter routes and red zone work; shows good explosiveness for contested catches and jump balls with solid hand/eye coordination.NegativeDepth ChartJul 23, 2026
