Keenan Allen shrugs off shoulder injury and Chargers lost to Lions Keenan Allen sprinted across the middle of the field in the third quarter Sunday racing through traffic as he went from his right to his left a nanc later he caught a pass from Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert for a 12yd gain and a first down at the Detroit Lions 18 yd line suddenly he was down and injured along the lion sideline the crowd of 7,240 at re sopi Stadium went silent the Chargers were already without wide receivers Mike Williams and Joshua Palmer because of knee injuries the last thing they needed to see was Allen sidelined by an injury Allen went to the sideline then the locker room and then soon enough he was back on the field in the fourth quarter he returned to the game after the Chargers announced that his return was questionable because of a shoulder injury Jaylen gon and Quenton Johnston caught touchdown passes in his absence but there was alen with the ball in his hands again on the Chargers final drive completing a 38- yd touchdown pass play that would make it 38 38 with 334 remaining in a game they would ultimately lose 41 38 Allen would catch 11 passes for 1 75 yards and two touchdowns I thought early on it would be a shootout and that's what it ended up being a shootout said Allan who dismissed his shoulder injury during his postgame media scrum at his locker you got two great offenses and no matter how good a defense is it's hard to stop a great offense
