Jonathan Allen Fantasy

The Washington Redskins exercised their fifth-year option on defensive tackle Jonathan Allen. The option keeps him under contract through the 2021 season. Allen was a first-round pick in 2017 (17th overall) and has been solid in his professional career but has certainly not lived up to his draft position. He's recorded 14 sacks in the past two seasons. He has been good at staying on the field though, playing in 15 games last year and in all 16 the year before.

Updating previous reports, Washington Redskins defensive lineman and 2017 first-round draft pick Jonathan Allen (foot) is out for the remainder of the season with a Lisfranc injury. Allen recorded 10 tackles and a sack over the team's first five games and had been a big reason for the team performing much better on defense in early 2017 than they did a year ago. It is a big blow to the Redskins as they figure to become marginally weaker across the board going forward.

Washington Redskins defensive lineman Jonathan Allen has a Lisfranc foot injury and will miss the next three to four weeks. Allen's injury is another in a series of injuries to key defensive players that have seen Washington a bit leakier over the last couple of weeks than they had been in their first three games. Cornerback Josh Norman is also nursing a rib injury that is likely to keep him sidelined for at least one more week, though he'll be reevaluated prior to the Redskins Thursday practice and is not yet officially ruled out for Week 7. Thursday is the first official day of Redskins practice with their game set for Monday night at Philadelphia.
