Report: Chargers WR Keenan Allen not expected to play vs. Broncos

The Chargers are planning to rest their star receiver.

The Chargers are most likely going to be without their star wide receiver on Sunday against the Broncos.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) is not expected to play. Allen was listed as questionable on the injury report.

Allen only managed to practice in a limited capacity Friday and coach Anthony Lynn considered him a “game-time decision.”

Schefter added that Los Angeles intended to rest Allen last Thursday against the Raiders but he still played. The plan is to let him recover in Week 16.

In that outing, Allen played only 24 snaps and received just three targets while dealing with the same injury

If Allen doesn’t play, he will snap his regular season games played streak, which is currently at 62.

Named a Pro Bowler for the fourth time in his career, Allen has 100 catches, 992 receiving yards and eight touchdowns this season.
