Former Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen is expected to sign with the Cincinnati Bengals this week, according to a report.
Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reported Wednesday that Allen, who played for the Razorbacks from 2012-15, was in Cincinnati for a physical and covid-19 test. He added that Allen, 27, will likely sign this weekend.
Since being selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL draft, he has spent two seasons with the Los Angeles Rams and one with the Denver Broncos.
Allen was claimed off waivers by the Broncos last September and, following an injury to starting quarterback Joe Flacco, made three starts in 2019.
