Commanders activate Jonathan Allen for Sunday night game vs. Falcons (original) (raw)

The Washington Commanders activated defensive tackle Jonathan Allen from injured reserve Saturday, giving them a significant boost up front as they try to clinch a playoff spot Sunday night against the Atlanta Falcons.

Allen tore his pectoral muscle in the Commanders’ loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Oct. 13 and was believed to be out for the season. But after he had surgery, the nature of the injury and his recovery made a return possible.
