When Burrow went down, they  moved him up behind Finley. Kevin Hogan was then signed to the practice squad. Problem is that Allen was seen as the the safety net instead of the #2 when Finley was the one many say should be a #3.

That's speculation though. From what I've read and gathered, Finley was kept number 2 because he had a year in the offense and was there to help Joe with that and on the tablet after series with Pichter. Allen was brought in as the Covid QB due to familiarity with Callahan in Denver, and Taylor in LA. As soon as Burrow went down, they called Allen up the following Monday.
