Keenan Allen won't play vs. Giants due to COVID-19

The Los Angeles Chargers will be without their No. 1 target in Week 14

Head coach Brandon Staley announced Friday that wide receiver Keenan Allen won't play Sunday against the New York Giants, according to The Athletic's Daniel Popper.

Allen tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday, and the team won't activate him from the reserve group in time.

The 29-year-old leads the Chargers with 124 targets, 86 receptions, and 929 yards through 12 appearances this season. Allen's also scored four touchdowns.

Staley also said he expects wide receiver Mike Williams and cornerback Chris Harris Jr. to face the Giants, according to the Orange County Register's Gilbert Manzano.

Williams and Harris were recently placed on the COVID-19 reserve list as close contacts, but they've since tested negative multiple times.
