Allen dislocated his left hip in an October game against Georgia and underwent surgery Nov. 1 to repair the labrum and capsule of the hip.
Dr. Marc J. Philippon, who performed the surgery, doesn't think there will be a residual defect.
''I expect him to have a very long and productive career,'' said Philippon, who works out of the Steadman-Hawkins Clinic in Vail, Colo., and formerly worked at Holy Cross Hospital in Broward and Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami.
``Priest Holmes had the same surgery four years ago and he went on to be a record-setting back. [Allen's] hip is perfect.''

Also says Saban wanted to trade up for Haloti Ngata.
