Keenan Allen DUI and Colts’ Response | NFL News

0:00On September 1st, so Indianapolis Colts, why receiver Keenan Allen, got himself into some trouble this past weekend, getting arrested and charged with. A DUI right there in Indy. This is a pretty big deal, especially since he just joined the team last month. But here's the latest. Colts' General Manager Chris Ballard came out and said that Allen will still be playing in week 1. He made it clear that while mistakes happen, they're going to give Allen some grace as an individual. Ballard emphasized that everyone's situation is different and that we, as a society, tend to be too quick to judge people for one's flip-up, especially. When they've had long careers, he's advocating for a bit more understanding. He also pointed out that it's easy to want to harshly punish someone for a single mistake, but that's not always the right approach. The team seems to be taking a measured stance on this. So, for now, it looks like Keenan Allen will be on the field when the season kicks off despite this recent legal issue. The organization is choosing to handle it internally and with a degree of leniency.
