Report: Commanders fear DT Jonathan Allen suffered season-ending injury vs. Ravens

Washington Commanders defensive tackle Jonathan Allen departed Sunday’s 30-23 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the third quarter with what the team called a pec injury. Washington immediately ruled Allen out for the remainder of the game, which likely meant the news wasn’t good.

On Monday, Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network reported that Washington believes Allen suffered a season-ending injury.

JP Finlay of NBC Washington and 106.7 The Fan revealed a text message he received from a team source who said, “It’s bad.”

The eight-year veteran is a two-time Pro Bowler and has been a mainstay in the middle of Washington’s defensive line since his 2017 rookie season. After missing 10 games as a rookie, Allen has only missed three games over the past six seasons combined.

Washington’s defense struggled in the loss to the Ravens, but the Commanders sit atop the NFC East with a 4-2 record, and Allen’s loss is a big one. His injury means more time for rookie Johnny Newton and third-year DT Phidarian Mathis.

According to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post, Allen will seek a second opinion.
