Source: Chargers expect WR Allen (quad) to play

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen, who is dealing with a quad injury, is expected to play on Sunday at the New England Patriots, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Allen is listed as questionable for the game. He missed two days of practice this week with a thigh contusion but returned Friday as a limited participant.

When talking to reporters on Friday, Allen sounded encouraged about his chances at playing. “This is light, honestly,” Allen said, “thigh contusion is like a solid nick. That’s considered not bad.”

Through 11 games, Allen is Los Angeles’ leading receiver with 97 catches for 1,117 yards and seven touchdowns.
