  • Records 5.5 sacks

    Allen (knee) finished 2023 with 53 tackles (30 solo), 5.5 sacks and one pass defense in 16 games.

    Analysis: The only game he missed was Week 18, and he recorded the second-most QB hits (19) of his career despite having four other seasons with more sacks. On the other hand, PFF graded Allen at No. 124 out of 137 qualified interior defensive linemen for run defense, suggesting that what had once been one of his strengths as a DE on early downs has become a weakness now that he lines up at defensive tackle for about three-fourths of his snaps. It is possible a new coaching staff in Washington will want…read more

  • Missing Week 18

    Allen (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old defensive tackle recorded back-to-back DNPs to open the Commanders' week of practice, and he's now in line to miss his first game of the season in Week 18. With Allen missing Sunday's affair, expect Phidarian Mathis to shoulder more work on Washington's defensive line.

  • Tending to knee injury

    Allen (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: It's not clear when Allen picked up the knee issue or how serious it might be, but it puts his availability for Week 18 in jeopardy in any case. He'll probably have to return to practice Thursday or Friday to give himself a chance to play Sunday.

  • Productive in loss

    Allen logged five total tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: The Pro Bowl defensive tackle put up the third-most tackles he's recorded in a game this season Sunday, bringing his total up to 53 stops on the year. Allen has had another productive year for the Commanders' defense, appearing in all 16 of the team's games thus far and ranking second in both tackles for loss (10) and sacks (5.5). The 28-year-old will look to end the season on a positive note in Week 18's game against the Cowboys.

  • Registers in sack column again

    Allen recorded four tackles (three solo) including 1.5 sacks in Sunday's 31-19 loss versus the Giants.

    Analysis: Allen got into the sack column for the second straight game and for the fifth time this season in Week 11. He's undoubtedly one of the best defensive tackles in football, but the ability of offences to double-team him keeps him from being an elite IDP option.

  • Tallies sack in loss

    Allen accumulated four solo tackles and one sack in the Commanders' Week 10 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Allen's sack brings his season total up to four across 10 games. He saw the field for 62 defensive snaps (84 percent), which was his second highest total of the season. The defensive tackle will attempt to make it back-to-back games with a sack in Week 11 when Washington hosts the Giants.

  • Potential trade candidate

    Allen and the other Commanders defensive linemen are subject to trade rumors in advance of Tuesday's trade deadline, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.

    Analysis: Allen has expressed some discontent with the organization and thus might be the most likely of the Commanders linemen to go. He's cleared to play for Sunday against the Eagles this week.

  • Will suit up at Giants

    Allen (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at the Giants.

    Analysis: Allen was able to manage a full practice Friday after being limited Wednesday and Thursday, leaving no doubt he'll play in Week 7. He'll remain a starter as one of the most impactful defensive tackles in the league Sunday.

    Published: Fri, Oct 20 at 12:13pm by Rotowire.com

  • Limited Wednesday

    Allen (knee) was a limited participant at Washington's practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Allen played 84 percent of the Commanders' defensive snaps while playing the entirety of their 24-16 win over Atlanta in Week 6, so his limited participation Wednesday is likely for rest purposes. Allen's knee is worth monitoring as the week goes on, and he will have two more practice sessions to increase his workload ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup with New York.

  • Records sack in win

    Allen had three tackles, including a sack and an additional tackle for loss, in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Allen played in 51 of the team's 58 defensive snaps, a good sign that he is over the plantar fasciitis injury that limited him during training camp. The 2017 first-round pick has recorded at least six sacks in four of the past five seasons and is a key piece for Washington's defensive front. Allen and the Commanders will hit the road for Week 2 to face the Broncos on Sunday.

  • All clear for Week 1

    Allen (foot) wasn't listed on Washington's injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game versus Arizona.

    Analysis: It's a welcome sight for the Commanders, who now can count on the availability of their two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle until further notice. While he's one of football's most impactful defensive linemen, that doesn't necessarily translate to elite fantasy production.

  • Nursing plantar fasciitis

    Allen has been dealing with plantar fasciitis, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Ron Rivera indicated the issue is not serious. Still, it is worth noting, and it would not be surprising to see the Commanders exercise caution with Allen in the immediate future. The primary goal is to make sure the team's starting right defensive tackle is at full health when Week 1 comes around.

  • Back at practice

    Allen (knee) has been participating in OTAs, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

    Analysis: Allen was seen working with fellow defensive lineman Daron Payne, Montez Sweat and Chase Young at the first practice of minicamp this past Wednesday. Allen missed the final game of the 2022 season with a knee injury and finished the campaign with 64 tackles, 7.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception in 16 games.

  • Out for season finale

    Allen (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Allen will miss the Commanders' season finale in Week 18 as he nurses the knee injury he sustained in the team's Week 17 loss to the Browns. The defensive tackle will finish his 2022 campaign with 64 tackles, including 7.5 sacks, while intercepting a pass, deflecting three others and forcing two fumbles over 16 contests. John Ridgeway could step into a starting role in Allen's absence Sunday versus Dallas.

  • Will not return

    Allen (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Browns, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Allen exited the game in the first half and was initially questionable to return. This is a devastating blow to the Commanders' defense, especially if it's an injury that would keep him out for Week 18 as well. John Ridgeway and David Bada will both likely see an uptick in opportunities while Allen is sidelined.

  • Exits with injury

    Allen has left Sunday's game against the Browns with a knee injury.

    Analysis: Allen left in the second quarter with the injury and he is questionable to return. As Allen is a significant part of the team's defensive front, his absence will certainly be felt. While he is out, John Ridgeway and David Bada will both likely see an uptick in opportunities.

  • Moderate effort in loss

    Allen recorded six tackles (two solo) in Saturday's 37-20 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Allen played all but two of Washington's defensive snaps this past weekend against San Francisco, while he's also amassed at least five stops in each of the last four games. The 27-year-old is now just five tackles and two sacks away from setting new career highs in those departments, and he'll have two contests remaining to do so.

  • Eight tackles in tie

    Allen recorded eight tackles (seven solo), a tackle for loss, a sack and a forced fumble against the Giants in the 20-20 tie Sunday.

    Analysis: Allen registered his 7.5 sack of the season, just 1.5 sacks shy of his career high from last year. The Pro Bowl defensive tackle also forced his second fumble of the season, which was recovered by Jamin Davis and led to a field goal. Allen played more than 90 percent of the snaps for the second straight week and third time of the season and will look to continue this production after the bye week in a rematch against the Giants.

  • Two sacks in dominant win

    Allen recorded three solo tackles, including two sacks, in Sunday's 23-10 victory over the Texans.

    Analysis: Allen was able to bring down Davis Mills for a sack in the first quarter before later doing it again in the third period, registering his first multi-sack performance of the season. Overall, the defensive tackle has now produced 39 tackles, including 6.5 sacks, while deflecting three passes, intercepting another and forcing a fumble over 11 games this year.

  • Eight stops in late win

    Allen logged eight tackles (two solo), including two tackles for loss, in Sunday's 17-16 win against the Colts.

    Analysis: Allen tied with safety Bobby McCain for a team high in total and solo tackles in this contest. The defensive tackle has now recorded 31 tackles (22 solo), 3.5 sacks, three passes defended, one interception and a forced fumble over eight games in 2022. Allen should continue to pose a significant problem for opposing offensive lines this season.

  • Fills stat sheet in win

    Allen recorded four tackles, one sack, one interception and one forced fumble during Thursday's 12-7 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Allen caught his first-career interception late in the first quarter of Thursday's contest when the ball bounced into the air following a throw off a Washington defensive lineman's helmet. The sixth-year pro now has 23 tackles and 3.5 sacks through the team's first six games, and he'll likely play heavy snaps again next Sunday versus the Packers.

  • Racks up eight tackles

    Allen posted eight tackles (five solo), including a sack, and a pass defense during the Commanders' 25-10 loss to Dallas on Sunday.

    Analysis: Allen didn't record more than four tackles in any of the first three games of the season, but he tied for the team lead with eight stops during Sunday's defeat. The 27-year-old now has 17 tackles (12 solo), including two sacks, and two pass defenses over the first four games of the season.

  • Active against Detroit

    Allen (groin) is active Week 2 against Detroit.

    Analysis: Allen logged three tackles and a sack across 50 snaps on defense in the Week 1 matchup against Jacksonville, but he came away with a groin injury that resulted in a late addition to the injury report this week. That ultimately won't prevent the sixth-year veteran from suiting up and resuming his regular role on the Washington defensive front.

  • Added to injury report

    Allen is a late addition to the Commanders' injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Lions and is now listed as questionable due to a groin injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Allen tweaked his groin in Washington's season-opening victory over the Jaguars. He subsequently underwent a precautionary MRI and was cleared for Week 2. It is unclear if he has suffered some type of setback, but his status is now up in the air for Sunday. Some combination of Efe Obada, Daniel Wise and Donovan Jeter would be in line to replace his snaps if he is ultimately unable to go.

  • Cleared for Week 2

    Allen doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions.

    Analysis: Allen underwent a precautionary MRI on Monday after tweaking his groin during Washington's season-opening win. He was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he appears to be fine heading into Week 2. The 2017 first-round pick recorded three tackles and a sack in Week 1 and will look to continue his strong play against Detroit on Sunday.

  • Completes limited practice

    Allen (groin) logged a limited practice Thursday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Allen received an MRI on his groin after the team's Week 1 matchup with the Jaguars. He referred to the test as "precautionary," and that he felt "fine." However, this is the second straight day of limited practices for the veteran tackle. If he were unable to take the field against the Lions on Sunday, Efe Obada and Daniel Wise would likely be looking at extra opportunity.

  • Says MRI is precautionary

    Allen (groin) said Monday that he feels "fine" and the MRI on his groin was mostly "a precaution," Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: The exact severity of the injury that forced Allen out of Washington's 28-22 win versus Jacksonville is still unknown, but his words are an encouraging sign. He notched a sack before exiting, so the Commanders will certainly hope he can return for Week 2 at Detroit. If he can't, however, Efe Obada and Daniel Wise are probably the next men up.

  • Set for MRI

    Allen (groin) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Allen racked up three tackles and one sack before being forced out of Sunday's 28-22 win over Jacksonville. The sixth-year defensive tackle's MRI results should provide more clarity on the nature of his groin issue, as well as his potential Week 2 availability against Detroit. If Allen misses any time, Efe Obada and Daniel Wise are candidates to fill in on Washington's defensive front.

  • Activated off COVID list

    Allen (undisclosed) has been activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list.

    Analysis: Allen has apparently cleared the league's health and safety protocols and will be available for Tuesday's matchup with the Eagles. He projects to start at defensive tackle per usual.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Tests positive for COVID-19

    Washington placed Allen on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday after he tested positive for the virus, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

    Analysis: According to Finlay, Allen is vaccinated, so he'll be eligible to play this upcoming Sunday in Philadelphia if he's asymptomatic for a 48-hour period and turns in two negative COVID-19 tests at least 24 hours apart. Allen has been Washington's top defensive lineman this season, and his potential absence Week 15 would be devastating for a squad that played without its top four defensive ends in the Football Team's Week 14 loss to the Cowboys.

  • Cleared of injury designation

    Allen (groin) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Allen sustained a minor groin injury during Washington's Week 13 win over the Raiders, but he was able to play through the issue and totaled two tackles and half a sack during the victory. However, he did play a season-low 54 percent of the team's defensive snaps, so he may be limited again during Sunday's divisional showdown with the Cowboys.

  • Managing minor groin issue

    Coach Ron Rivera revealed Monday that Allen sustained a minor groin injury during Sunday's win over the Raiders, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Allen was able to play through his injury Sunday, but he'll be examined by the team's medical staff Monday to determine the extent of the issue. The 26-year-old totaled two tackles and half a sack in Sunday's victory.

  • Tallies two sacks

    Allen had two sacks during Sunday's 24-10 loss at Green Bay.

    Analysis: Allen played 62 percent of the defensive snaps and brought down Aaron Rodgers twice during the first half, but he didn't have any production the rest of the contest. The 26-year-old has 26 tackles (13 solo) and five sacks through seven games this season.

  • Eight tackles in win

    Allen made eight tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 34-30 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Allen registered a season-high eight tackles Sunday, but he couldn't get to the quarterback. The 26-year-old got off to a hot start with three sacks through the first two games, but he has failed to record one for two straight weeks.

  • Puts up two more sacks

    Allen recorded six tackles (five solo) and two sacks in Thursday's 30-29 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Allen now has three sacks through two games, topping last year's mark already. Last season was a down year for Allen in the sack department, as he posted 14 sacks between the 2018 and 2019 seasons. His consistent tackling numbers provide a steady IDP floor, as Allen posted 60-plus stops in each of the last three campaigns.

  • Returns from hamstring injury

    Allen (hamstring) returned to team drills Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: A few missed days of practice early in camp shouldn't make much difference for Allen, who recently signed a four-year, $72 million extension. He had just two sacks last season -- down from eight and six the previous two years -- but he did notch 63 tackles and 14 QB hits while starting all 16 games for a top-five defense.

  • Hamstring injury

    Allen (hamstring) is considered day-to-day due to an injury, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Allen's injury doesn't appear severe, but Washington has nothing to lose by holding him out of early camp activities, so it seems likely the team will be cautious. The 2017 first-round pick inked a four-year extension back in March, positioning himself to once again serve as a pillar of the Football Team's defensive line.

  • Signs four-year extension

    Allen is signing a four-year, $72 million extension with Washington, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 2017 first-round pick (17th overall) was scheduled to become a free agent next offseason, after playing out 2021 under the fifth-year option on his rookie contract. Allen now stays in Washington long term, cashing in big despite recording only two sacks last season. He did have 63 tackles and 14 QB hits, along with a career-high 78.4 PFF grade, good for 18th out of 126 qualified interior defensive linemen. Allen also still gets some snaps at DE, but those mostly come in the base defense on…read more

  • Starts every game

    Allen was a 16-game starter in 2020, notching 63 tackles (63 solo) and two sacks while playing 77.4 percent of defensive snaps.

    Analysis: Only DT Daron Payne (84.3 percent) played more snaps among Washington defensive linemen, though edge rushers Chase Young (73.7 percent) and Montez Sweat (66.3 percent) weren't too far behind. While a lack of sacks may give the appearance of a disappointing season, Allen was fourth on the team in tackles and second in QB hits (14), grading out as PFF's No. 18 interior defensive lineman in his first season primarily playing tackle rather than end. The new role may not have been ideal for IDP…read more

  • Ready for Sunday's contest

    Allen (groin) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus the Seahawks, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Allen had his practice reps managed this week but will suit up in Week 15. The fourth-year defensive tackle has consistently played more than 70 percent of the snaps on defense per game, posting 48 tackles, two sacks and a fumble recovery through 13 contests.

  • Still dealing with injury

    Allen (groin) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Kyle Stackpole of Washington's official site reports.

    Analysis: Allen suffered the injury late in Sunday's win over the 49ers, but the good news is that he was able to practice in some capacity Wednesday. The Alabama product has been strong this season, racking up 48 tackles (28 solo) and two sacks through 13 games. If Allen were to suffer a setback, Tim Settle would be in line for an uptick in snaps for Sunday's game against Seattle.

  • Exits with groin injury

    Allen (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Allen was forced out of Sunday's game midway through the fourth quarter. As long as he's sidelined, Tim Settle could have a chance to handle a key role on defense.

  • Leads team in tackles Sunday

    Allen made nine tackles (seven solo) and a sack in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Allen tied with Jon Bostic for the team lead in tackles, and he now has 1.5 sacks this season. The 2017 first-round pick also logged a season-high 79 percent of defensive snaps, and he could maintain that snap share moving forward with Matthew Ioannidis (torn biceps) done for the season. He'll have a tough matchup in Week 4, though, as the Ravens come to town.

  • Getting fifth-year option

    Washington is picking up the fifth-year option on Allen's rookie contract, Kevin Sheehan of The Team 980 reports.

    Analysis: After missing 11 games his rookie season, the 2017 first-round pick is coming off back-to-back campaign with at least six sacks and more than 60 tackles.

  • Overcomes knee injury

    Allen compiled 68 tackles (46 solo), six sacks and a fumble recovery in 15 games during the 2019 season.

    Analysis: Allen suffered a knee sprain Week 1 and missed the next game, but he played in 14 consecutive contests to close out the season, averaging 51.1 defensive snaps per week. Coming off back-to-back seasons with 61 or more tackles and six or more sacks while playing in a 3-4 scheme, the 2017 first-round pick is an excellent bet to receive the fifth-year option on his rookie contract. Allen will head into 2020 with a new head coach (Ron Rivera) and a new defensive coordinator (Jack Del Rio).

    Allen has a toe injury and was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Allen saw his typical workload in Sunday's loss to the Eagles and recorded a season-high nine tackles, but he apparently didn't finish the contest unscathed. However, the fact the 24-year-old is practicing in some capacity to begin the week puts him on track to play this weekend.
