It’s been a test of his patience over the last few months, but Washington Redskins defensive lineman Jonathan Allen is inching closer to his full return to football action.
“I'm out there running, getting off the ball, cutting back,” Allen told Redskins.com. “And there's definitely a balance because you don't want to rush back so early, but I feel really good right now. I'm excited about how much progress I made, and I'm looking forward to getting started."
Selected with the No. 17-overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, Allen excelled in his first five NFL games, recording 10 tackles (three solo) along with one sack while providing the Redskins a stout run-stopping presence.
