Washington Football Team quarterback Kyle Allen left Sunday’s game against the New York Giants with a gruesome ankle injury, suffering a dislocated ankle and a small fracture. While that’s certainly better news than a compound fracture (which is what his backup Alex Smith suffered in 2018), ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported on Monday that Allen is expected to undergo surgery sometime in the next few weeks to repair the injury.
An injury that requires surgery is typically a season-ender, and that’s how Allen is treating it. In an Instagram post on Sunday night, he thanked his family, friends, teammates, and fans for their support this year, and said that he “loved every second” of his first season in Washington.
