It sounds like Titans coach Brian Callahan has found Cam Ward's backup
Allen was the backup quarterback to Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow from 2020 to 2022, when Callahan was the offensive coordinator. So, it stands to reason that he knows Allen pretty well as a player and a person, and trusts that he will not only be a mentor to Cam Ward, but a trusted backup who can step on the field in a pinch.
Over his five seasons in the NFL, Allen has appeared in 18 games. He's completed 166 passes for 1,810 yards and 11 touchdowns. He's also thrown eight interceptions and been sacked 21 times, so he's experienced a little bit of everything on the professional football field.
Nothing is official until it's official, but it seems that Ward is the starter with Allen as the backup, and Tim Boyle in the wings, with Will Levis officially placed on IR.

Kyle Shanahan: Jake Moody's still competing with whoever's out there
The 49ers released veteran kicker Greg Joseph on Monday, but head coach Kyle Shanahan stopped short of saying that means Jake Moody will definitely be handling the kicking duties in the season opener. Shanahan said that "roster numbers" led to the decision to cut Joseph because the 49ers need healthy bodies at other spots at this point in training camp. Shanahan said he would have liked to see the competition play out longer under different circumstances, but said he thinks Moody knows that he is still competing against the larger pool of available kickers. "Whether you have one kicker in the building or two, which you rarely have two, kickers always know they're competing with whoever's out there," Shanahan said, via "I don't see it much different." Moody was a 2023 third-round pick and he's gone 45-of-59 on field goals through his first two seasons.

Sean Payton hosted a familiar face at Broncos training camp
The Denver Broncos had one of Sean Payton's former players at practice on Monday, although most NFL fans are more familiar with the guest for his coaching career than his quarterback days. Jason Garrett, who was a backup quarterback with the New York Giants when Payton served as their offensive coordinator in the early 2000s, was at the Broncos' facility on Monday for the team's training camp practice. 'I coached him, and he was our backup quarterback," Payton said after practice. "He's always been a close friend. He's made a couple of trips. I think he's doing some type of podcast special on leadership, and so he's here for the day. I'll spend some time with him. He's really bright, and he's been a close friend. We're going to go back to 2000, which is when we signed him. It's good to see him.' Garrett also visited Broncos training camp last summer. Garrett served as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys from 2011-2019, and he most recently served as the Giants' offensive coordinator from 2020-2021 before transitioning to broadcasting with NBC Sports.
