Colts’ Keenan Allen downgraded to OUT for London game with groin injury

Indianapolis wide receiver Keenan Allen has been ruled out for Sunday morning's matchup against Washington due to a groin injury, despite head coach Shane Steichen previously indicating no players would miss the contest. Allen sat out Friday's practice following limited participation earlier in the week, halting momentum after he recorded his seventy-first career touchdown last weekend.

The roster setback further strains an already depleted receiving corps for the Colts, who are missing Alec Pierce on injured reserve and previously lacked Ashton Dulin due to an ankle problem. To compensate for Allen's absence in London, the team promoted Nick Westbrook-Ikhene from the practice squad ahead of the early kickoff.
