The Jacksonville Jaguars released starting outside linebacker Russell Allen, defensive end D’Aundre Reed, defensive end Will Pericak and wide receiver Jabin Sambrano on Thursday.
According to reports, Allen failed a team physical after finishing last season on injured reserve because of a concussion.
Releasing Allen will save $2.5 million in salary-cap space for the Jaguars. His three-year contract called for a $1.975 million salary in 2014.
Allen started 29 games, including 14 before the concussion last year, during the past two seasons. He led the Jaguars in tackles in 2012.
The undrafted free agent spent five seasons in Jacksonville and made 44 career starts.
Reed played in six games during the 2012 season for the Minnesota Vikings, who drafted him in the seventh round in 2011.
