Chargers' Keenan Allen out vs. Falcons Allen has played in just two games this season after injuring his hamstring in Week 1.
NOVEMBER 4, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Ruled out for Sunday Allen (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The same applies to fellow starting wideout Mike Williams (ankle), which leaves Joshua Palmer (concussion), who is slated to play Sunday, per Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times and DeAndre Carter (illness/questionable) -- if available -- to lead the Chargers' Week 9 wideout corps. Allen's next chance to suit up will arrive in Week 10 versus the 49ers on the road.

Not spotted at practice Allen (hamstring) wasn't spotted during the open portion of Friday's practice, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Allen didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so his status for Sunday's game against the Falcons remains cloudy. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether he has a chance to suit up this weekend, but if the wideout is ruled out, added Week 9 opportunities would be available for Joshua Palmer (concussion) and DeAndre Carter.

Misses second straight practice Allen (hamstring) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Impact With Allen evidently having had a setback with his left hamstring injury, the wideout's status for Sunday's game against the Falcons is cloudy in the wake of back-to-back missed practices. If Allen is out this weekend, Joshua Palmer (concussion) and DeAndre Carter likely would lead the Chargers' Week 9 receiving corps, with Mike Williams sidelined by an ankle injury.

Will remain sidelined Wednesday Allen (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Chargers were on bye last week, but head coach Brandon Staley acknowledged Wednesday that Allen's hamstring injury hasn't "responded the way that we hoped." With that in mind, the wideout's status for Sunday's game against the Falcons remains unclear, and with Mike Williams sidelined by an ankle injury, it's possible that Joshua Palmer -- who has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol -- and DeAndre Carter could lead the team's receiving corps.

Doesn't practice Monday Allen (hamstring) didn't practice Monday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Impact Allen returned to action Week 7 for the first time since the season opener, but he didn't play in the second half after feeling like he couldn't accelerate off his injured leg. It was assumed the Chargers' Week 8 bye would provide further rest and rehab for the star wideout, but it appears he's still not 100 percent yet. His absence Monday isn't overly concerning, but if he remains sidelined from practice later in the week, it's very possible Allen misses his sixth game of the season Week 9.

'No setback' with hamstring Sunday Coach Brandon Staley said Monday that Allen had "no setback" with his hamstring during Sunday's 37-23 loss to the Seahawks, but the wide receiver didn't play after halftime because...
Impact In his first game action since hurting his hamstring Week 1, Allen logged 23 of 71 snaps on offense and gathered in both targets for 11 yards. Now with a Week 8 bye on tap, he'll have time to get closer to 100 percent before L.A.'s next game Sunday, Nov. 6 in Atlanta. Allen's activity level will be of keen interest when the team reconvenes for practice again Wednesday, Nov. 2, especially with Mike Williams in line to miss time due to a high-ankle sprain.

Little usage in return Allen caught both his targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 37-23 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact Seeing his first action since suffering a hamstring injury in the Chargers' opener, Allen saw his workload limited due to his lengthy absence, and per Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times the wideout didn't play at all in the second half. With the team heading into its bye, Allen should be ready to handle his usual role after another week of rest, and he might wind up seeing massive target volume in Week 9 against the Falcons if the ankle injury Mike Williams suffered in the fourth quarter Sunday proves to be serious.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen active against Seahawks
Keenan Allen is active for the Los Angeles Chargers game against the Seattle SeahawksOCTOBER 23, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Active for Sunday's game Allen (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact Allen is thus in uniform for game action for the first time since Week 1, though it remains to be seen how close to his normal allotment of snaps he'll see in his return to the mix, a context that makes the 30-year-old a speculative fantasy lineup option in Week 7. Given that Joshua Palmer (concussion) is out Sunday, however, the Chargers will gladly take anything they can get from Allen, who will work alongside Mike Williams versus Seattle, with DeAndre Carter also in the team's WR mix.
OCTOBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
To be limited, if active Allen (hamstring) will be limited if he does suit up Sunday against Seattle, according to Jay Glazer of FOX Sports.
Impact Allen remains a true game-time decision for the Week 7 matchup, but with the bye week approaching, the Chargers don't seemingly have him in line for a full workload even if he does suit up. Should Allen end up getting declared active roughly 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 EST kickoff, he'll likely be a high-risk fantasy start.

Impact Allen logged limited practices throughout the week, providing some optimism that he'd take the field for the first time since Week 1. However, he'll remain a game-time call, and Schefter specifically noted that the team may give Allen extra rest with the bye week immediately following the matchup against Seattle. If Allen were held out, Mike Williams and DeAndre Carter would likely serve as the team's primary wide receivers.
