Jared Allen could miss rest of the Carolina Panthers season

Carolina Panthers defensive end Jared Allen could miss the rest of the NFL post-season after suffering a foot injury in the side's win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

Reports suggest Allen has a fractured foot which he sustained in the Panthers 31-24 win over the Seahawks in their divisional play-off.

Allen played the entirety of the game and it is unclear when he suffered the injury.

The 33-year-old will undergo further tests on Monday to determine the full extent of the damage and if surgery is necessary.

The Panthers may call Wes Horton up from the practice squad for the NFC Championship game against the Arizona Cardinals next Sunday.
