“It was actually kind of a previous deal that I never knew I had and that just kind of jolted it loose,” he said while reflecting on his surgery.
“A little piece of bone just kind of broke off and was floating there," continued Allen. "So they just went in and took it out, [it was] kind of like a small rock. They literally just cut it out, left it on the table and sewed it back up. Scar tissue will form around it and it feels really good right now. I don’t feel like I have any limitations.”
When asked if he got to keep the bone, Allen smiled and said, "No. Our head trainer, Nate Breske, was there, and apparently, they like wrapped it up and threw it away as quickly as they could. And I really wanted it."
