It's a non conference game, against a tough D that gets a lot of pressure on the QB. If one week would do enough to let Joe heal up and be ready for the final push, I'd let Allen start it and lean on the defense and Mixon in this week.
It is a pinky finger. Not any joint in his arms and legs that he would be using. So there is no risk of injury from just running and throwing. The only way it gets re-injured is if he hits it on a helmet or something and the current injury does not make that any more likely to happen than if he was 100% healthy.
