Devon Allen has shown flashes for the Eagles as he tries to extend his improbable football career.
Allen missed the first two weeks of training camp after suffering a calf injury while training for the U.S. Track Championships, and that’s time he really couldn’t afford to miss.
“I’m just doing my best. Overall, I feel a lot more confident just moving around and I feel like I’m a football player again.” Allen, who also had a terrific tackle for no gain on Amari Rodgers as a gunner on punt coverage and caught a short pass Thursday, said he remains committed to pursuing both sports, although his summer shows how hard that is. When he hurt his calf, it forced him to drop out of the U.S. Nationals, the qualifying meet for this week’s World Championships in Budapest, Hungary. So the one injury hurt both his track and football careers.
“The No. 1 goal would have been to try to balance both, like playing the first preseason game and then five days before the world champs go try to compete and come back. I mean, is that realistic? Probably not. Would I have tried it? Maybe.”
