The Washington Commanders lost one of their top defensive players during Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Eight-year defensive tackle Jonathan Allen departed the game with a pectoral injury and was ruled out.

It’s unknown when Allen suffered the injury, but with him being ruled out, it sounds like it could be a long-term injury.
The Commanders have struggled to stop Baltimore’s top-ranked offense, but much of the damage has come with open receivers in the secondary. Earlier in the game, Washington also lost starting defensive end Dorance Armstrong with a rib injury. Armstrong was listed as questionable to return but looked in pain on the sidelines and did not return to the game.
A two-time Pro Bowler, Allen is a big loss for Washington but means even more playing time for second-round rookie Johnny Newton. Newton’s snaps have gradually increased over the last few weeks, and he could be moving into a more significant role moving forward.
