Allen, who earned the starting job in the preseason, injured his throwing shoulder two weeks ago against Southern Mississippi.
Without Allen, the Razorbacks (3-1) lost 28-24 at Rutgers last week -- a game they led 24-7 in the second half.
Junior college transfer AJ Derby was 14-of-26 passing for 137 yards in the loss.
