Top Kaytron Allen News

  • Commanders' Kaytron Allen: Has five carries in garbage time

    Allen logged five carries for 24 yards in the last 3:01 of Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Cowboys.

    Allen saw just six offensive snaps in Sunday's game, all in garbage time. The game was well out of reach by the time Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Rachaad White left the field, leaving the sixth-round rookie to gain more NFL experience.

  • Commanders' Kaytron Allen: Limited action in NFL debut

    Allen turned four carries into 16 yards during the Commanders' 24-22 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Allen didn't record his first NFL carry until the third quarter, though he did log three rushes for 11 yards during the Commanders' final offensive drive of the game. The rookie sixth-rounder played only seven snaps on offense, well behind fellow running backs Jacory Croskey-Merritt (34) and Rachaad White (29). Allen figures to see limited work out of the Commanders backfield this season unless one or both of Croskey-Merritt and White were to miss time. Washington has another NFC East matchup on tap, a Week 2 road tilt against Dallas on Sept. 20.

  • Commanders' Kaytron Allen: Poor showing in preseason finale

    Allen carried the ball three times for four yards and lost a fumble in Friday's 41-3 preseason loss to the Ravens. He added nine yards on one kickoff return.

    With the Commanders resting all their key personnel in the team's final exhibition contest, Allen got the start in the backfield but coughed up the ball on his first touch, setting the Ravens up for their first TD of the night. The 2026 sixth-round pick is expected to begin the regular season as the third back on the depth chart behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt (lower body) and Rachaad White (hamstring), but if the injuries to either RB linger into Week 1, Allen could see a bigger workload than expected in his NFL debut.

  • Commanders' Kaytron Allen: Most carries in loss

    Allen rushed 10 times for 30 yards in Saturday's 17-13 preseason loss to the Lions.

    Allen once again saw the largest rushing workload for the Commanders, though his 10 rushes are significantly less than last Friday's 23. The running back also saw a target in the pass game, catching the ball even though it did not result in positive yardage. It appears Allen is continuing to prep for a tertiary rushing role in the 2026 campaign behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt (undisclosed) and Rachaad White (hamstring).

  • Commanders' Kaytron Allen: Sees heavy workload in win

    Allen rushed 23 times for 85 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for one yard in the Commanders' 20-7 preseason win over the Dolphins on Friday.

    The rookie sixth-round pick improved his rushing numbers over the prior season in each of his last three years at Penn State, and Allen is now trying to nail down the No. 3 job in a veteran running back room. Going by the amount of playing time he saw Friday, it's clear the coaching staff is intrigued with his potential. Allen's first chance to build on his game-high rushing yardage total and one-yard touchdown run comes in a road preseason matchup against the Lions on Saturday, Aug. 22.
