Washington Redskins defensive lineman Jonathan Allen has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2017 NFL season, according to a report from ESPN. Allen suffered a Lisfranc injury during Washington’s Week 6 game against the 49ers.
Washington selected Allen with the No. 17 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, just a few spots behind Philadelphia’s selection of Derek Barnett. Allen had been starting and playing well at 3-4 defensive end for Washington.
It was originally thought Allen would only miss three-to-four weeks but now his recovery time-frame is clearly longer.
