Chargers WR Keenan Allen Suffers Setback to Hamstring During Bye Week

Keenan Allen's hamstring injury has worsened during the bye week.

COSTA MESA – The Chargers are fresh off their bye week after having time
to reset following their 4-3 stretch across the first seven games.

Wide receiver Joshua Palmer and tight end Donald Parham Jr. are both out
of concussion protocol and have began practicing. However, wide receiver
Keenan Allen did not practice on Wednesday after saying he suffered a
setback to his hamstring during the bye week.

Allen said his hamstring feels worse than it did when the team entered
the bye. His setback occurred when he was going through his standard
rehab and running.

"I don't think it was a re-strain or anything," Allen said of his
worsened hamstring injury. "It's just some more scar tissue that's
trying to break off. ... I'm gonna let it do its own thing."

Allen said he's unsure when he'll be able to return, but that he wants
to come back fully healthy without a snap-count restriction when he does
take the field for his next game.

"I definitely don't want to do that halfway thing again," Allen said,
referring to his first half snap-count against the Seahawks in Week 7.
"Just want to come back 100% and not worry about it."

Allen has gathered several opinions from medical professionals to try
and take the best plan of attack in getting his hamstring healthy during
this frustrating process.

"I've been talking with multiple people," Allen said. "Just trying to
take the best approach and get back whenever I can."

In Allen's return during Week 7, the first game he's played since the
season opener, he played 23 snaps, catching two passes for 11 yards.
Allen said he felt good during the game, but that he was removed in the
second half in part of his snap-count.

"I felt great. It wasn't like training camp, but definitely felt able to
play," Allen said of his return in Week 7.

If Allen is unable to play this Sunday against the Falcons, the Chargers
could be without their top three wide receivers. Mike Williams is
dealing with a high ankle sprain and is expected to miss a matter of
weeks. Palmer returned to practice following his absence from a
concussion, but coach Brandon Staley was noncommittal in saying whether
or not he would play in Atlanta.

With injuries continuing to hit the Chargers wide receiver group at a
particularly high rate, they still didn’t make a move ahead of the NFL
trade deadline. DeAndre Carter, Jason Moore Jr. and Michael Bandy are
expected to play pivotal roles in the weeks ahead as the team attempts
to overcome the injury bug.
