Given permission to seek trade The Commanders have given permission Allen to seek a trade this offseason, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Allen is entering the final year of his four-year, $72 million extension and recently turned 30 years old in January. After playing in at least 15 games each season from 2018-2023, Allen appeared in just eight contests this past campaign, finishing with 19 tackles, including 3.0 sacks. Allen is scheduled to collect a $15.5 million salary in 2025 and another $1.5 million in potential bonuses. Trading him would clear over $16.47 million in salary cap space for the Commanders.

2025 NFL free agency: 10 big-name players who could be cap casualties

Hampered by injury in 2024 Allen played in eight regular-season games in 2024, compiling 19 tackles (16 solo), including 3.0 sacks.

Impact Allen tore his left pectoral Week 6 against Baltimore and wasn't able to return to action until Week 17. When healthy, he worked as a starter and managed a trio of sacks, and he logged his biggest workload of the campaign in Washington's NFC Championship Game loss to the Eagles, tallying five tackles and recording a season-high 51 defensive snaps. Allen was a Pro Bowler in 2021 and 2022 but has been less productive in the subsequent two campaigns. He's signed through next season, but it's not a lock that the Commanders will keep him around given that they could save $17 million in cap space by cutting him.

Activated off IR, will play Sunday The Commanders activated Allen (pectoral) from injured reserve Saturday, and he carries no injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Impact Allen suffered a torn left pectoral muscle during the Commanders' Week 6 loss to the Ravens. He was designated to return from injured reserve Dec. 18 and was activated off IR after logging full practices all week. Allen will likely reclaim his starting spot at defensive tackle alongside Daron Payne while Jer'Zhan Newton and Sheldon Day provide rotational depth.

Could return Sunday Allen (pectoral) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.

Impact Allen has missed the Commanders' last nine game due to a pectoral injury, but he was designated to return from injured reserve Dec. 18 and practiced in full throughout the week, so it appears he's trending toward playing in Week 17. However, the 29-year-old must still be added to Washington's active roster in order to suit up Sunday. If activated, Allen is likely to start alongside Daron Payne as part of the Commanders' top interior defensive linemen duo.

DECEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as full participant The Commanders listed Allen (pectoral) as a full participant in Wednesday's practice estimate.

Impact Allen was designated tor return from injured reserve on Dec. 18 and now appears closer to making his return. The 2017 first-round pick hasn't played since the team's Week 6 loss versus the Ravens but should have a chance to play in Sunday's game versus the Falcons.

DECEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out vs. Eagles Allen (pectoral) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Allen has been recovering from a torn left pectoral muscle he underwent in Week 6. The veteran defensive tackle was designated for return from injured reserve this Wednesday, but he'll miss at least another game as he aims to return for Week 17 or 18. He recorded 15 tackles (13 solo) and 2.0 sacks across the first six games of the season.

Practice window opens The Commanders designated Allen (pectoral) for return from injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact Allen, who has been recovering from a torn left pectoral muscle sustained during Week 6, will have 21 days to be evaluated at practice without counting against the 53-man roster. He can be fully activated at any point during that stretch, meaning Allen could tentatively retake the field as early as Sunday versus the Eagles, depending on his recovery progress. John Keim of ESPN.com reports, though, that while Allen's injury wasn't as bad as initially feared, his best chances of returning in the regular season will come Week 17 or Week 18.

DECEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts to IR The Commanders placed Allen (pectoral) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact Allen sustained a torn left pectoral muscle in the Commanders' Week 6 loss to the Ravens, so Wednesday's move to IR comes as no surprise. Expect 2024 second-round pick Jer'Zhan Newton to see increased work with Washington's first-team defensive line alongside Daron Payne while Allen recovers from this injury.

Won't return in 2024 Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed Monday that Allen tore his left pectoral in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Ravens, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Allen played 36 defensive snaps and recorded two total tackles before exiting Sunday's loss with a torn left pectoral muscle. The Pro Bowl defensive lineman had accumulated 15 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, across the Commanders' first six games this season. With Allen sidelined for the remainder of the year, expect rookie second-round pick Jer'Zhan Newton to take on an increased role and start alongside Daron Payne on Washington's defensive line.

Injury could be season-ending The pectoral injury that Allen sustained during Sunday's game at Baltimore may require season-ending surgery, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Allen is seeking a second opinion, but his prognosis doesn't seem good at this point. Even if he's not out for the rest of the year, a stint on the Commanders' injured reserve list could be in his future. Either way, rookie second-rounder Jer'Zhan Newton seems to be in line for an uptick in reps moving forward.

Won't return due to pectoral injury Allen has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Ravens due to a pectoral injury, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Allen recorded two solo tackles before leaving the game in the second half. Dorance Armstrong (ribs) has been ruled out, so Washington's defensive line will be extremely shorthanded the rest of the way.
