Kaytron Allen was waived by the Washington Commanders on Friday and claimed by the Miami Dolphins, becoming the first roster cut casualty from the 2026 draft class. Allen was a sixth-round pick who arrived in Washington with limited draft capital but is now heading to Miami, a team already familiar with him after he rushed for 85 yards and one touchdown against the Dolphins in the preseason. The waiver move places scrutiny on general manager Adam Peters' decision to place faith in experience over development.

Kaytron Allen was waived by the Washington Commanders on Friday and claimed by the Miami Dolphins, becoming the first roster cut casualty from the 2026 draft class. Allen was a sixth-round pick who arrived in Washington with limited draft capital. He now joins a Dolphins backfield that has lost De'Von Achane to a season-ending ACL injury, alongside Ollie Gordon, Jaylen Wright, and Carlos Washington. Allen rushed for 85 yards and one touchdown against Miami in the preseason, so the Dolphins are familiar with his abilities.

The source reports that the Miami Dolphins claimed Kaytron Allen off waivers after Washington waived him to add Austin Ekeler. Allen, a 6th-round 2026 pick, impressed Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan with a preseason performance of 85 rushing yards and 1 TD against Miami, which likely influenced the claim. Allen will compete for playing time behind Ollie Gordon II and the banged-up Jaylen Wright in Miami's backfield, positioning him as a depth play with opportunity if injuries or performance changes occur.

Washington Commanders cut rookie sixth-round running back Kaytron Allen, exposing him to waivers. The source suggests Cincinnati should claim him as a low-risk move to address depth at running back and provide a short-yardage threat; defenses aren't respecting the Bengals' running game in those situations, and having Allen could open up more offensive possibilities for Joe Burrow while taking pressure off the passing game.

The source identifies Kaytron Allen as a low-risk waiver claim for the Bengals to address depth at running back, particularly for short-yardage situations where the team currently lacks a power runner. Allen was cut by Washington as a sixth-round rookie while the Commanders juggled roster spots for injured players returning. The source argues that adding a short-yardage threat would open up more offensive possibilities for Joe Burrow and reduce pressure on the passing game, making this a worthwhile depth move.
