Former Alabama defensive lineman to reportedly miss remainder of NFL season

The former Alabama star was enjoying a strong start to the season.

After suffering an injury during Sunday’s loss against the Baltimore Ravens, former Alabama Crimson Tide and current Washington Commanders star defensive lineman Jonathan Allen will reportedly miss the remainder of the 2024 NFL season.

This was confirmed Monday by a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, with Allen now likely to undergo season-ending surgery.

A former first round pick from the 2017 NFL draft, Allen is currently in the middle of his eight season in the league, with each of which having come in Washington. So far this season, Allen had started in all six games to post a combined stat line of 15 tackles, two TFL, and two sacks.

Allen was a four-year player at Alabama from 2013-16 in which he amassed a combined 153 tackles, 46 TFL, and 28.5 sacks with the Crimson Tide. The defensive lineman was also a one-time national champion at Alabama, and had two seasons of double-digit sacks in 2015 and 2016 on his way to multiple awards.
