Chicago Bears defensive end Jared Allen is being kept out of Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers with pneumonia, Jay Glazer reports:
Jared Allen is out today bc pneumonia. Weight dropped all the way to 237. Had another chest xray this AM. Still wanted to play

Dropping a significant amount of weight in such a short period of time is certainly concerning, and the hope is that Allen can recover and return to the field soon.
