Chargers WR Keenan Allen dealing with AC joint sprain, still expected to play vs. Packers

The veteran wideout is expected to play this Sunday.

Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen is dealing with an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder, but he is still expected to play this weekend against the Packers.

Allen missed Wednesday’s practice but was a limited participant on Thursday.

Allen sustained the injury in the second half of the loss to the Lions. He left for the locker room to be evaluated but returned and logged his second touchdown of the game.

Allen finished the game with 11 catches for 175 yards and two scores.

Allen has the same injury on his right shoulder that occurred back in his rookie that he never got surgery on.

Allen has been nothing short of outstanding in his 11th season, as he is up to 73 catches, 895 yards and six touchdowns and his 10,000 career receiving yards under his belt.
