The Los Angeles Chargers are as depleted as can be. Their season went nowhere; lousy play after lousy play, and injuries have played a massive part in their lack of success.
One player who has suffered from injuries is their star wide receiver, Keenan Allen. Allen, who has suffered from a heel injury these past couple of weeks, has missed his second practice this week. However, according to a team insider from The Atheltic, Daniel Popper, he was seen doing some agility work on the side with trainers.

The 31-year-old receiver has not played since the team's Week 14 loss to the Denver Broncos. The Chargers weren't any better with him, but without him, they are awful. Nonetheless, Allen has put up the best numbers of his career and that was why the offense was putting up points (for the most part).
Allen could likely miss another game along with fellow wide receiver Joshua Plamer, who is in concussion protocol. The other Charger pass catchers must make their mark to have a chance at making their Week 17 game against the Broncos competitive.
The Bolts will be limited considerably, but we'll find out who will take Allen's place in this contest.
