Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen could see an increased workload in the Week 2 game against the Broncos. Head coach Liam Coen anticipates a more regular role for Allen after he was limited to just one offensive snap in Week 1 against the Browns. Allen, who recently returned from a hip injury, was a significant contributor on third downs during his rookie season. With the coaching staff focusing on enhancing his involvement in the passing game, his presence could add more options for the Jaguars' offense. This change aims to strengthen the dynamic of the team's strategy moving forward.
