Christopher Allen has not seen action for Alabama since the 2021 season opener against Miami.
He has been rehabbing from a foot injury, but Allen has been traveling with the team.
He supported his teammates at the Goodyear Cotton Bowl and made the trip to Indianapolis. Allen, a fifth-year senior, participated in pregame warmups for the Cotton Bowl but did not play. As a talented outside linebacker, he posted a photo to his Instagram of his helmet and shoulder pads in his locker ahead of the College Football Playoff National Championship Game.
Crimson Tide fans would like to see Allen return, but will Monday be the moment? We will see.
