Los Angeles Chargers receiver Keenan Allen is unlikely to play against the Kansas City Chiefs because of a hamstring injury, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Allen did not play in the second half against the Las Vegas Raiders. Pelissero said that with the Chargers on a short week, there wouldn't be enough time for Allen to be ready to play but the injury would not be a long-term issue.
Before suffering the injury, the 30-year-old had four catches on four targets for 66 yards, including a 42-yard gain. DeAndre Carter stepped into the spot usually occupied by Allen in the Chargers’ offense and made three catches for 64 yards and a touchdown.
The five-time Pro Bowl selection has been one of the NFL’s most productive receivers over the past half-decade. He had 106 catches for 1,138 yards and six touchdowns last season.
