Keenan Allen was officially downgraded to OUT for Week 4, a major blow just hours before the Indianapolis Colts face the Washington Commanders in London on Sunday morning. This late-breaking news, confirmed Saturday, Oct. 3, means the Colts are without a key weapon overseas.
The Injury That Just Benched Allen
The story here is a groin injury Allen seems to have picked up at practice this week. It was bad enough that he got ruled out the day before the big international game. Initially, Allen was listed as questionable on the Colts’ final injury report, which always makes you nervous. He put in two limited practices, but then the DNP on Friday, that’s where the alarm bells really started ringing. Now we know why: he’s sidelined.
What This Means For His Hot Start
Allen has been doing his thing, acting as a useful low-end flex option for fantasy players, showing some real flashes of early-season success. But this groin injury? It’s a massive damper on that momentum. You just hate to see a player hitting their stride get knocked down by something like this, especially right as they’re heading into a high-profile game across the pond.
So, the Colts are without Allen in London. The big question now is, how long is this groin injury going to keep him off the field? We’ll be watching closely to see what happens after this Week 4 game and how quickly he can get back to putting up those numbers.
