Keenan Allen Injury: Update On WR’s Status For Patriots-Chargers

Allen leads the NFL in catches

Bill Belichick tried his best to manifest Keenan Allen out of the Chargers lineup, but his efforts were in vain.

On Friday, the Patriots head coach joked that he wouldn’t mind if Los Angeles rested Allen, who’s dealing with a quad injury, for Sunday’s game in New England. But the star wide receiver will suit up for the Week 13 matchup at Gillette Stadium, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
