The Washington Commanders are set to face the New York Giants for their Week 5 matchup on Sunday. The Commanders are entering their game against the Giants with the goal of bouncing back and getting back in the win column. This is because Washington lost their last matchup against the Indianapolis Colts by a 30-13 final score.
Now, as the Commanders prepare for their matchup against the Giants, they have parted ways with one of their rookies. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Commanders have waived running back Kaytron Allen ahead of their contest against the Giants. The Commanders waiving Allen is notable, as he was just drafted by them in the sixth round of this year's NFL draft.
Yet, with this move, Washington is already moving on from the 23-year-old running back. Allen appeared in four games with the Commanders before being waived, where he recorded 12 rushes and 41 receiving yards. It will now be interesting to see what happens with Allen after being waived by the Commanders.
Teams looking for depth at the running back position could consider taking a gamble on him.
