Has covered the NBA and college football and basketball<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\nCOSTA MESA, Calif. — Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen will be a game-time decision to play in a Week 7 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, coach Brandon Staley said Friday.<\/p>\n
“[He’s] closer, had a good week, was in practice, not only individual but during team,” Staley said. “It was a good day today and we’ll see how he responds tomorrow.”<\/p>\n
Allen played injured his left hamstring in a Week 1 win over the Las Vegas Raiders and has not since.<\/p>\n
The Chargers are 4-2 as they prepare to play the 3-3 Seahawks at SoFi Stadium on Sunday. The Bolts will then go into a Week 8 bye.<\/p>\n
Allen said Friday that he had “high hopes” of returning against the Seahawks and expressed confidence about how he practiced throughout the week.<\/p>\n
“Felt good in there,” said Allen, who is officially listed as questionable on the team’s injury list. “It was solid. Felt good on the game speed.”<\/p>\n
The Chargers could again be facing significant injury issues to their lineup if Allen is unable to play.<\/p>\n
Wide receiver Joshua Palmer and tight end Donald Parham Jr. are in concussion protocol and have been ruled out. Running back Joshua Kelley is out because of a knee injury, and kicker Dustin Hopkins is out because of a right hamstring strain.<\/p>\n
In Hopkins’ absence, the Chargers will turn to kicker Taylor Bertolet, whom they signed to the practice squad going into Week 5.<\/p>\n
And in Kelley’s absence, rookie Isaiah Spiller will be expected to step up in a role behind running backs Austin Ekeler and Sony Michel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
