ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter has confirmed that star Wide Receiver Keenan Allen will not be playing in Thursday's critical clash against the Raiders. This comes as a blow for the Los Angeles Chargers, who were hoping to have Allen, one of their top offensive players, back on the field for this crucial matchup.
Allen, a seven-year veteran and one of the Chargers' most reliable targets, suffered a hamstring injury during a Week 14 matchup against the Falcons, causing him to leave the game early. Despite numerous treatments and hours in the training room, Allen's hamstring has not recovered sufficiently for him to play on Thursday. This development was confirmed by Schefter on his official Twitter account.
