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

Allen recorded four tackles, one sack, one interception and one forced fumble during Thursday's 12-7 win over the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Allen caught his first-career interception late in the first quarter of Thursday's contest when the ball projected up in the air following a throw off of 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.

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

Allen (groin) is active Week 2 against Detroit.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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.

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

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

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.
EDGE 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.

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