Key takeaways
- Allen was downgraded from his previous status and is unavailable against Washington.

Allen ruled out against Commanders
The team will be without Allen for Sunday’s game against the Commanders after the receiver’s groin issue led to an out designation.
Allen’s absence removes an experienced target from the offensive rotation and leaves the club to adjust its receiving plans on game day.
Practice-squad moves for Sunday
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine was elevated at wide receiver, providing additional depth at the position following Allen’s status change.
The club also promoted Reynolds, a running back, and Kaho, a linebacker, for Sunday’s game. The elevations give the active roster extra coverage in the backfield and on defense, while both players can also factor into special-teams duties.
