Keenan Allen Dealing With Back Spasms
4 years agoLos Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (back) experienced back spasms after his touchdown catch in the Monday night overtime loss to the Saints. Allen left the game in the first quarter and didn't return to the contest, but he'll have extra time to heal up with the team's bye week recently being moved from Week 10 to Week 6. The 28-year-old was at least able to find paydirt for his fantasy managers on his two catches for 29 yards, so it wasn't a complete loss. If Allen has to sit out in Week 7, Mike Williams and Hunter Henry would be the biggest beneficiaries, along with Jalen Guyton. Williams had a huge game after Allen left on Monday, scoring two touchdowns. With rookie quarterback Justin Herbert looking like the real deal, Allen will remain a must-start when he's healthy.
