Injury Update On Rams WR

The last thing the Los Angeles Chargers need is another injury to Keenan Allen, as they already lost Mike Williams to an injury this past week.

That's why it was a little concerning to see Allen play just the first half in Week 7's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. 

Brandon Staley said there was "no setback" with Keenan Allen's hamstring. Allen did not play in the second half yesterday. Staley said Allen "did not feel like he could burst" off the leg and they did not want to "risk" further injury.

However, Chargers head 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 he ''did not feel like he could burst'' off his leg, and the Chargers didn't want to risk additional injury. 

In his first game action since hurting his hamstring in Week 1, Allen logged 23 of 71 snaps on offense and caught both targets for 11 yards.

With a Week 8 bye, Allen will have time to get closer to 100 percent before the team's Week 9 contest against the Atlanta Falcons. 

The veteran receiver's activity level will be something to keep an eye on when the team practices next on Wednesday, Nov. 2.
