The Washington Commanders opened the 21-day practice window for star defensive tackle Jonathan Allen on Wednesday.
Allen, 29, was placed on injured reserve on Oct. 16 with what was feared to be a season-ending pectoral injury.
The two-time Pro Bowl selection recorded two sacks, six quarterback hits and 15 tackles in six starts before getting hurt in a Week 6 loss at Baltimore.
Allen has totaled 41 sacks, 117 QB hits, 397 tackles, two fumble recoveries and one interception in 107 games (all starts) since being drafted in the first round (17th overall) by Washington in 2017.
The Commanders (9-5) are three games behind Philadelphia in the NFC East with three games remaining, starting with Sunday’s clash against the visiting Eagles (12-2).
