The Chargers are set to play the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday in Week 2.
Chargers WR Keenan Allen says he “possibly” can go Week 2 after suffering hamstring injury today. On a short week? “Small possibly.”

The 30-year-old was leading L.A. with four catches for 66 yards before exiting.
With Allen out, veteran wideout Mike Williams will be the focal point of the Chargers' passing attack. DeAndre Carter and Joshua Palmer should take on expanded roles.
