According to Rogers Sportsnet on Monday, the Washington Football Team will not have quarterback Kyle Allen of Scottsdale, Arizona the rest of the season. Allen dislocated and fractured his ankle on Sunday in the Washington Football Team’s 23-20 loss to the New York Giants. This was Allen’s first year with Washington after playing his first two NFL seasons with the Carolina Panthers.
So far in 2020, Allen has completed 60 of 87 passes for 610 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception. He also had seven rushes for 26 yards and another major score.
Allen was brought to Washington from Carolina just over two months after the Washington Football Team hired Ron Rivera as their head coach. Rivera had been with the Panthers organization as their head coach from 2011 to 2019.
Now with Allen gone, the quarterback position seems to be Alex Smith’s job now. Smith has rejoined Washington this year after being out all of 2019 with a leg injury he suffered two years ago. Dwayne Haskins began the year as the Washington starter, but was ineffective after four games as Washington was only 1-3.
Even though Washington has struggled in 2020, the same can be said about the other three NFC East franchises. Washington is in second place with a record of two wins and six losses, but they are only a game and a half back of the division leading Philadelphia Eagles, who have a record of three wins, four losses, and one tie. It could help that Washington has already beaten the Eagles and Dallas Cowboys already this year. The Cowboys and New York Giants are each at two wins and seven losses.
