The Indianapolis Colts were back on the practice field on Tuesday, and so was wide receiver Keenan Allen.
Allen, 34, was arrested in downtown Indianapolis around 1:00 AM Sunday morning. He is facing preliminary charges of DWI and DWI endangering a person. Both are misdemeanors.
When speaking with local reporters on Tuesday, Colts' GM Chris Ballard said that Allen will play in the team's Week 1 game against Baltimore, according to The Athletic's James Boyd.

According to ESPN's Stephen Holder, Ballard said that any internal discipline by the Colts will not involve Allen missing playing time.
The NFL has not yet weighed in on the issue.
The Colts signed Allen on
Aug. 19. He appeared in the team's preseason finale against Detroit, hauling in one pass for 24 yards.
He is expected to play a big role this season.
