The Chargers will be without their top wide receivers as Keenan Allen and Joshua Palmer were ruled out for this Sunday’s contest against the Broncos.
Allen nor Palmer logged a single practice this past week, as they’re dealing with a heel injury and concussion, respectively.
Allen has missed the last three games with this injury. Before being sidelined, he was nearing career-high numbers, currently with 108 receptions, 1,243 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.
Palmer sustained a knee injury that kept him out for over a month. Upon returning, he came on strong in the absence of Allen, recording nine catches for 160 yards and a score in the last two games.
In nine games, Palmer has 32 receptions for 537 yards (16.8 yards per reception) and two scores.
With Allen and Palmer out, rookie Quentin Johnston, Jalen Guyton and Alex Erickson will be the team’s top wideouts.
Edge defender Joey Bosa is also out for this weekend’s contest.
Linebacker Kenneth Murray, linebacker Tanner Muse and defensive tackle Nick Williams are doubtful.
Tight end Nick Vannett, guard Zion Johnson and cornerback Deane Leonard are questionable.
