Allen was a limited participant in the Bears' training for most of the week but was a full participant on Friday. All things point toward the wideout making his Bears against Tennessee.

Allen signed for the Bears this offseason, after playing 11 seasons with the LA Chargers. He racked up a whopping 10,530 yards on 904 receptions and caught 59 touchdowns during his time with the Chargers.

Allen also earned six Pro Bowl honors during his career with the LA team. He was also named as the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year in 2017.

Now, it will be interesting to see how he fares with the Chicago Bears in the 2024 season. The veteran receiver is likely to be a key offensive weapon for rookie quarterback Caleb Williams.
