"It was not helmet to helmet," Allen said. "It was a little bit of a freak deal. Mike kind of ducked a little bit. Phillip kind of led with his shoulder a little bit and kind of lunged at him. Its things that happen in the game of football. Its an unfortunate occurrence. Fortunately Mike is fine and we move on from it."Goodson was not at Wednesday's practice but Allen would not yet rule him out of Monday's exhibition opener against Dallas at the Coliseum."I don't know," Allen said. "We'll see. We'll see where he's at. If we had to play today, obviously he wouldn't play."
