Washington Commanders defensive tackle Jonathan Allen has a contract set to expire at the end of the season, and when he was injured in mid-October with a torn pectoral muscle, he thought his season (and career with his hometown team in D.C.) was over.
But after doctors determined that Allen's pectoral muscle was only partially torn, the door was left open for Allen to return. He's back in the lineup now even though he's dealing with pain in his arm as he tries to help the Commanders make a run to the Super Bowl for the first time in over three decades.
