The Chargers will likely be without their best wide receiver for Week 2. Keenan Allen suffered a hamstring injury during Week 1’s game against the Raiders. He received an MRI that revealed his injury is not too severe, and should return for Week 3.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported the news via Twitter on Tuesday.
Allen has been a Charger since he was drafted in 2013. After playing just one game in 2016, he collected 1,393 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 102 catches in 2017, which won him NFL Comeback Player of the Year.
Last season, Allen played and started in 16 of 17 games, grabbing a career high 106 receptions for 1,138 yards and six touchdowns. This was the fifth year of his NFL career in which he had over 1,000 yards receiving.
