Allen was Washington's sixth-round draft pick this past April and made the 53-man roster out of training camp. He played sparingly in the regular season, rushing for 41 yards on 12 carries over the course of the first four games. The former Norview star had his most productive showing in the preseason opener against the Dolphins, rushing for 85 yards on 22 carries and a touchdown.
The former Norview star also appeared on special teams for the burgundy and gold. Washington announced his release Thursday afternoon.
