In a Week 10 showdown, the Los Angeles Chargers, led by star wide receiver Keenan Allen, found themselves on the losing end of a thrilling battle against the Detroit Lions. In a disappointing turn of events, the Chargers' defense once again proved to be their Achilles' heel, overshadowing the impressive performance of their offense led by Justin Herbert and Allen.
In the 41-38 loss to the Lions, Allen suffered a shoulder injury and left the field in the second half. However, he was later able to return and finish the game. In the loss to the Lions, the 31-year-old wideout had 11 receptions for 175 yards and two touchdowns on 14 targets.
How serious is Allen's injury? Will he play in Week 11 against the Green Bay Packers? Let's take a look at his injury update.

Keenan Allen Injury Update for Fantasy Football
As per the latest update, Keenan Allen is considered day-to-day. He will be worth monitoring throughout the week, but with how things currently stand, he should be able to play in Week 11.
Apart from Allen, tight end Gerald Everett is also questionable for the game against the Packers. It will be a tough week for the Chargers, who are already without Mike Williams and Joshua Palmer on offense.
After the loss to the Lions, the Chargers are now 4-5, and a loss next week could basically knock them out of playoff contention. As a result, Allen, who has played all nine games for the team this season, is unlikely to sit out against the Packers.
Keenan Allen Fantasy Football Outlook
Throughout his career, we have seen that Keenan Allen is one of the best wide receivers in the league when healthy. After missing seven games last season, he has managed to stay healthy this season.
In nine games, Allen has 73 catches for 895 yards and has scored six touchdowns on 97 targets. He is receiving 12.3 yards per reception and 99.4 receiving yards per game. Due to the shoulder injury against the Lions, he was able to play only 75% of the total offensive snaps for the Chargers.
Prior to that game, he had played at least 80% of the snaps in the previous four games. In nine games, the Chargers star has accumulated a total of 132.1 points in full PPR scoring leagues while averaging 14.7 points per game.
