Losing locals this week with the first causulty coming back on Thursday of last week, when Keenan Allen was ruled out for the LA Chargers game vs. the Las Vegas Raiders…Raiders won it 63-21 over Chargers, but here is the word from last week on Keenan Allen, from Northern Guilford High School/California….
LOS ANGELES — The Chargers ruled out wide receiver Keenan Allen on Wednesday for Thursday night’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders because of a heel injury.
Allen’s injury comes at an inopportune time for the Chargers, who head into this game with backup quarterback Easton Stick making his first NFL start. The Chargers’ starting quarterback, Justin Herbert, is out for the season with a broken right index finger.
“He provides that middle of the field target, or, ‘Hey, if he’s playing outside, I can trust it,'” coach Brandon Staley said Monday of the importance of Stick having Allen.
Allen is having his best season. Last week, he set the Chargers single-season record for catches with 108. He leads the NFL in receptions and is fourth in yards.
