Keenan Allen, Mike Williams active for Chargers vs. Raiders
The Los Angeles Chargers will have starting receivers Keenan Allen and Mike Williams active for a division showdown against the Las Vegas RaidersDECEMBER 18, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Suiting up Thursday after all Allen (hamstring) is listed as active Thursday at Las Vegas.
Impact The Chargers capped Allen's practice reps this week, containing him to limited listings on two of three injury reports. His questionable tag became exactly that when Tom Pelissero of NFL Network noted that the team is treating Allen as a "true game-time decision." Adam Schefter of ESPN later reported that the Chargers were concerned Allen may not be available, but if he was he likely would be limited. With the statuses of both Allen and Mike Williams (back) cleared for Thursday's game, L.A.'s receiving corps will be intact, but Schefter relayed that both players will be on "a rep count."

Impact The same report notes that Mike Williams (back) is not expected to play, which sets the stage for Tyron Johnson and Jalen Guyton to see added Week 15 snaps. Allen's status will be officially clarified once the Chargers post their inactives approximately 90 minutes before Thursday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, but it's starting to look like he can't be counted on for his usual high-volume role in the team's passing attack this week.

Pelissero: Austin Ekeler expected to play, Keenan Allen, Mike Williams 'game-time decisions' NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports on Los Angeles Chargers injuries heading into their matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
DECEMBER 17, 2020 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM
Viewed as game-time decision The Chargers are treating Allen (hamstring) as a "true game-time decision" for Thursday's contest against the Raiders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact The same applies to Mike Williams (back), with the report noting that both wide receivers were sore following Week 14 action. With the Chargers on a short week, look for Allen and Williams to be tested out by the team during warmups. Clarity on the statuses of both players should arrive when the Chargers release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes before Thursday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Chargers offensive tackle Bulaga ruled out vs. Raiders
The Los Angeles Chargers will be without offensive right tackle Bryan Bulaga for Thursday night’s game against the Las Vegas RaidersDECEMBER 16, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Listed as questionable for Week 15 Allen (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Raiders after being listed as limited on Tuesday's and Wednesday's practice estimates.
Impact The same applies to fellow wideout Mike Williams (back), as well as running back Austin Ekeler (quad). We suspect that Allen, who was out there for 57 of the Chargers' 73 snaps on offense in the team's win over the Falcons this past Sunday, will be able to handle his usual role Thursday, though his Week 15 status won't be confirmed until the release of inactives approximately 90 minutes prior to Los Angeles' 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Chargers' Herbert faces new challenges with short week
Quarterback Justin Herbert makes his Thursday night debut when the Los Angeles Chargers travel to Las Vegas to face the RaidersDECEMBER 15, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Limited Tuesday Allen (hamstring) was limited on Tuesday's estimated injury report.
Impact One day removed from being listed as a non-participant, Allen would have fit in some reps if the Chargers had held practice Tuesday. Considering the upgrade in verbiage, he seems to be trending in the right direction for Thursday's game at Las Vegas, but ultimately Wednesday's report will have the final word on his status.

Listed as DNP on practice estimate Allen (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.
Impact Allen was on the field for 57 of the Chargers' 73 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-17 win Sunday over the Falcons, while catching nine of his 11 targets for 52 yards and a TD. We'll revisit the wideout's status once the team hits the field next to see if he's simply managing a minor issue or in any danger of being limited or out Thursday night against the Raiders.

Scores again in win Allen caught nine of his 11 targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in the 20-17 win Sunday over the Falcons.
Impact Sunday's touchdown tied Allen's career high in a season, but perhaps more impressively, the veteran route runner continues to score from at least 10 yards out. An injury to Mike Williams (back) allowed the Falcons' secondary to converge even more tightly on Allen, which set the stage for Tyron Johnson (6-55-1) to have a career day, but the 28-year-old was still a critical factor on the penultimate drive that ultimately saw Justin Herbert stare down Allen for what appeared to be a game-ending interception. Considering Allen's connection with Herbert and incredible usage rate (144 targets through 13 games), it's hard to imagine a dud the rest of the way given the number of vulnerable defenses left on the schedule. Coach Anthony Lynn said after the game that Allen was dealing with some soreness late in the contest, per Gilbert Manzano of the Orange County Register, so the receiver's practice participation will be worth monitoring with a short turnaround before Thursday's game against the Raiders.

Lynn remains as Chargers coach despite Sunday's 45-0 loss
Los Angeles Chargers coach Anthony Lynn, along with his players, are looking to quickly move on after a 45-0 loss to the New England PatriotsDECEMBER 7, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Held in check vs. Patriots Allen caught five of 11 targets for 48 yards during Sunday's 45-0 loss so the Patriots.
Impact Allen, who received plenty of attention from the talented New England secondary, did next to nothing aside from his long gain of 24 yards. He had touchdowns in five straight games heading into this one but saw his streak end as the Chargers were surprisingly shut out for the first time since the 2014 season. While Allen has now been held under 50 yards for three consecutive games, each of those matchups has been quite difficult on an individual level. He should have a chance to break out next Sunday against the subpar Falcons secondary.
