Fri, 27 Apr 2012 12:56:03 -0700 Minnesota Vikings WRs Percy Harvin and Michael Jenkins, DE Jared Allen and PK Ryan Longwell are not participating in team workouts this week.
Fri, 06 Jan 2012 19:52:04 -0800 Minnesota Vikings DL Jared Allen received 49 of a possible 50 votes Friday, Jan. 6, as he earned first-team All-Pro honors. It is the fourth All-Pro nod for Allen, who tied Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson for the first most votes to the first-team.
Tue, 03 Jan 2012 20:53:36 -0800 Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Fred Pagac is not expected to return after one season at the position. DLs Jared Allen and Kevin Williams have voiced support for the DC. An NFL source also said Tuesday, Jan. 3, that defensive line coach Karl Dunbar has told people he has decided not to return.
Mon, 02 Jan 2012 18:45:24 -0800 Minnesota Vikings DL Jared Allen said Monday, Jan. 2, that he supports defensive coordinator Fred Pagac, and the Pro Bowl made it clear he wants the coach back. "I love Coach Pagac to death and I'm going to fight for him," Allen said. "I want him to be my d-coordinator next year."
Sun, 01 Jan 2012 15:00:34 -0800 Minnesota Vikings DE Jared Allen recorded 3 1/2 sacks against the Chicago Bears in Week 17 and finished the season with 22 sacks. He was a half-sack away from tying the NFL record for sacks in a single season.
Sat, 31 Dec 2011 17:22:09 -0800 Minnesota Vikings DL Jared Allen needs four sacks in Week 17 against the Chicago Bears to equal the NFL single-season sacks record of 22 1/2, set by former New York Giants DL Michael Strahan. He leads Philadelphia Eagles DL Jason Babin and Dallas Cowboys LB DeMarcus Ware by just a half-sack for the NFL sack title this season.
Wed, 28 Dec 2011 12:25:44 -0800 Minnesota Vikings DE Jared Allen said he is very happy playing defensive end in a 4-3 defensive alignment and would not be very interested in playing linebacker in a 3-4 defensive alignment if the team decides to make the change. The Vikings are expected to fire defensive coordinator Fred Pagac after the season and have had discussions about the possibility of using the 3-4 defensive alignment.
Tue, 27 Dec 2011 16:26:52 -0800 Minnesota Vikings DL Jared Allen was named to his fourth career Pro Bowl Tuesday, Dec. 27.
Wed, 21 Dec 2011 21:50:38 -0800 Minnesota Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier acknowledged Wednesday, Dec. 21, that the coaching staff has discussed ways to give DL Jared Allen a shot at the decade-old NFL single-season record of 22 1/2 sacks held by former New York Giants DL Michael Strahan. "We are going to do our very best to see him lead the league in sacks and hopefully break that record," Frazier said. Allen has 17 1/2 sacks, and is 3 1/2 short of the club record set by former DL Chris Doleman in 1989.
Sun, 18 Dec 2011 23:12:47 -0800 Minnesota Vikings DL Jared Allen was removed from the Week 15 game against the New Orleans Saints after getting chop blocked in the fourth quarter and getting up slowly. He was unhappy about the decision. "For me, I want to play the whole game. I don't want to come off the field. I feel like (if) we're trying to win games, we should put our best players on the field," Allen said. "They felt that I obviously needed to be off the field at that time, so that's their call."
Thu, 08 Dec 2011 08:44:09 -0800 Minnesota Vikings DL Jared Allen said the team will undoubtedly use double coverage on Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson in Week 14. Johnson recorded 108 receiving yards and two touchdowns versus the Vikings back in Week 3. "If a guy's nickname is Megatron, unless you've got Optimus Prime on your team, double him up," Allen said of Johnson.
Thu, 08 Dec 2011 05:40:09 -0800 Minnesota Vikings DL Jared Allen, who sacked Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford three times in Week 3, said relentlessly pressuring Stafford is the key to beating the team. "We've seen that (Stafford) gets a little rattled (under pressure)," Allen said. "The Bears did a good job of that (in Week 10, forcing four interceptions), and it can snowball."
Thu, 01 Dec 2011 16:18:08 -0800 Minnesota Vikings DE Jared Allen (undisclosed), LB E.J. Henderson (shoulder) and CB Chris Cook (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 1.
Mon, 28 Nov 2011 12:32:17 -0800 Minnesota Vikings DL Jared Allen served as the long snapper on six punts and two PATs in Week 12 with LB Cullen Loeffler (back) out. However, the team will look to sign a long snapper going into Week 13.
Mon, 21 Nov 2011 06:26:01 -0800 Oakland Raiders OT Jared Veldheer turned in a solid effort in Week 11 by not allowing Minnesota Vikings DL Jared Allen to record a sack. Allen had recorded at least a half-sack in each game this season. Veldheer committed just one holding penalty in the game, but it prevented Allen from getting to QB Carson Palmer.
Wed, 16 Nov 2011 21:29:55 -0800 Minnesota Vikings DL Jared Allen remains at 13 1/2 sacks after the Week 10 game against the Green Bay Packers, but he is still on pace for 24 sacks, which would break former New York Giants DL Michael Strahan's record of 22 1/2 set in 2001.
Tue, 15 Nov 2011 15:01:51 -0800 Minnesota Vikings OT Cullen Loeffler (shoulder) is dealing with a rotator cuff injury and is unlikely to practice until Thursday, Nov. 17, or Friday, Nov. 18. DL Jared Allen is the team's emergency long snapper.
Tue, 15 Nov 2011 04:34:43 -0800 Minnesota Vikings DL Jared Allen said following the team's Week 10 loss to the Green Bay Packers that the Packers are the team to beat in the NFL. Allen added he will be rooting for Green Bay to win the Super Bowl. "Hats off to them. I hope they win it all now," Allen said. "Are they that good? Are we that bad? They were firing on all cylinders. So I guess, yeah, they're that good."
Sat, 12 Nov 2011 19:28:32 -0800 Green Bay Packers OT Marshall Newhouse allowed just one sack in the first meeting with the Minnesota Vikings to DL Jared Allen, but the coaching staff still expects improvement. The coaches are looking for Newhouse to be quicker to get his hands on Allen, the NFL's sack leader. "He'll be more technically sound," offensive line coach James Campen said.
Wed, 02 Nov 2011 21:40:38 -0700 Minnesota Vikings DL Jared Allen was named the NFC defensive player of the month for October. He posted eight sacks, two forced fumbles and 24 tackles in five games in the month of October.
Sat, 29 Oct 2011 19:12:43 -0700 Carolina Panthers OT Jordan Gross is expected to shoulder much of the responsibility trying to slow Minnesota Vikings DL Jared Allen in Week 8, although undrafted rookie Byron Bell is likely to be called upon at times as well. "He's a real strong, physical guy that's quick off the edge," Bell said. "I've just got to learn his pass rushes and then go out and play my game."
Fri, 28 Oct 2011 12:00:38 -0700 Minnesota Vikings S Husain Abdullah (concussion), DL Jared Allen (rest), DL Remi Ayodele (ankle), LB E.J. Henderson (knee), DL Brian Robison (shoulder), S Jamarca Sanford (concussion) and C John Sullivan (concussion) are questionable for Week 8.

Allen has also managed 11 1/2 sacks over his past six games against the Packers.
Wed, 19 Oct 2011 20:09:40 -0700 Green Bay Packers OT Marshall Newhouse is expected to make his second straight start in Week 7 against the Minnesota Vikings in place of the injured Chad Clifton (knee, hamstring).

Frazier said Allen is receiving extra attention during passing plays, which has contributed to his low sack number. "He's playing well. What's happening with Jared is that he's still in a lot of situations where there are backs chipping and tight ends to his side, and what it does is help other guys and helps our pass defense. Our pass defense is really improved primarily because of the type of blocks we're getting from offenses right now," Frazier said.
