Keenan Allen’s Performance and Injury Concerns in Recent NFL Games
Keenan Allen, the veteran wide receiver for the Los Angeles Chargers, although recently mentioned in the context of other teams, has been a focal point in several recent NFL games. In the Chargers’ latest matchup, Allen’s performance was notable despite the team’s overall outcome. On Sunday, Allen caught 2 of 7 targets for 39 yards in a game against the Arizona Cardinals, although this specific game is not detailed, his recent stats indicate consistent involvement in the offense.
In a recent game against the Bears, Allen faced strong coverage, particularly from Starling Thomas V, who forced a short field goal attempt by the Bears after a third-down pass in the end zone was defended effectively.
Allen’s durability and ability to play through injuries have been highlighted in the past. For instance, a comparison was made to his 2018 season when he left a game due to an injury but did not miss any subsequent games. This historical context is relevant as another player, Drake London, recently suffered a hip injury and his potential return is being compared to Allen’s resilience in similar situations.
At 32 years old and with 12 years of NFL experience, Keenan Allen continues to be a significant figure in the league. His stats for the current season include 10 receptions on 20 targets for 81 yards, with no touchdowns so far.
