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.

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

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

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.
EDGE 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.
