KEENAN ALLEN

The Los Angeles Chargers and San Francisco 49ers both lost their key starting offensive tackles after their losses in Week 3 on Sunday.

Jacksonville's 38-10 rout on Sunday not only was the Chargers' second straight defeat, but the injury list grew longer as the game wore on. Not only does quarterback Justin Herbert's rib injury remain a concern, but offensive tackle Rashawn Slater will likely miss the rest of the season due to a torn left biceps. The injuries come at the worst possible time for Los Angeles, which was already missing center Corey Linsley because of a knee issue, wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) and cornerback J.C. Jackson (ankle).

For a moment on Sunday, the Chargers looked ready to rally behind their injured Pro Bowl quarterback. Pro Bowl left tackle Rashawn Slater left with a biceps injury two plays later. At a glance, it was a stunning result for a Chargers team armed with Super Bowl hopes and playing at home against a Jaguars team that finished 2021 with the NFL's worst record. They started Sunday without Pro Bowl receiver Keenan Allen and cornerback J.C. Jackson, who were both sidelined with injuries. Before Slater left the game, Pro Bowl pass rusher was ruled out with a groin injury suffered in the first half.

The Los Angeles Chargers quarterback started Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars as a game-time decision after tearing rib cartilage in Week 2. Left tackle Rashawn Slater left the game in the third quarter with a biceps injury and was listed as questionable to return. The Chargers also lost All-Pro pass rusher Joey Bosa, who exited in the first with a groin injury and was ruled out after halftime. Add them to a list of key injures for the Chargers, who started Sunday with No. 1 receiver Keenan Allen and Pro Bowl cornerback J.C. Jackson also sidelined.

Even after the Los Angeles Chargers fell behind by 28 points late on a dismal Sunday afternoon, Justin Herbert insisted on staying in the game with his fractured rib cartilage.

Herbert, who is said to be day-to-day with a "rib cartilage fracture," was ruled questionable after being limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, then not participating on Friday. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers officially ruled out the Pro Bowl wide receiver after a week in which he posted no official participation in practice. Wide receiver Julio Jones is also questionable after returning to practice on Friday in a limited fashion. Dobbins, who missed all of last season with a torn ACL, is listed as questionable with a knee injury. Speaking of persistent Ravens injuries, left tackle Ronnie Stanley is listed as doubtful to make his season debut with a knee injury.

Justin Herbert will go through a pregame workout Sunday before the Los Angeles Chargers make a decision on whether or not he will play against the Jaguars.

Williams was in a big spot for Thursday night's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Allen and Williams are a 1a and 1b in the Chargers' passing game, but Allen is usually the more reliable stat compiler from week to week. On Thursday night, Williams was fantastic, and had a breathtaking touchdown. They signed him to a three-year, $60 million extension before he hit free agency this past offseason. On Thursday night, Williams was worth that deal.

What a way to cap Week 1 of the fantasy football season. So, you’d think the Chargers would be equally effective on the ground to keep their offense moving. Mahomes' deep-ball rate has steadily declined as he's seen more two-high coverages, but he'll still swing for the fences when given the chance. But his usage caught my eye as the Chiefs will need to use all their weapons to pull off a win tonight. Pacheco’s first touch didn’t come until the Chiefs’ third drive as the last man in the rotation.

A couple of big names will miss the much-anticipated AFC West match-up between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night. The Chargers already ruled out wide receiver Keenan Allen and tight end Donald Parham Jr. with hamstring injuries while the Chiefs will be without kicker Harrison Butker, who suffered an ankle injury. Chargers cornerback J.C Jackson is questionable with an ankle injury after missing Week 1.

Patrick Mahomes has thrown for at least 300 yards seven times this season and has 22 straight games with at least one TD passing. New England has won the past five meetings, including a 2018 divisional playoff game. Chargers WR Keenan Allen leads the NFL with 85 receptions and has a TD catch in five straight games.
