Colts wide receiver Keenan Allen will miss the Sunday game in London against the Washington Commanders because of a groin injury, the team announced Thursday, according to ESPN. Allen, a veteran of the Colts' offense, has been a reliable target in the passing attack and his absence will be felt in the upcoming International Series matchup. The injury was reported after a routine training session, and medical staff have ruled him out for the rest of the week.

The game, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time, is part of the NFL’s International Series and draws attention from fans around the world. Allen’s injury not only removes a seasoned playmaker from the lineup, but also forces the Colts to adjust their game plan and rely more heavily on other receivers and the running game. While the exact timeline for his return is uncertain, the coaching staff will work with the medical team to determine when he can rejoin practice.

Without Allen, the Colts will need to lean on younger receivers and backup options to fill the void
