Keenan Allen won’t practice today, per Brandon Staley.

He’s day to day with the hamstring injury. The tweet went on to say it's unclear right now if he will be back at practice this week, and his status for Week 5 is obviously up in the air. With Allen out last week, it was Williams, Everett and Ekeler who stepped up in the passing game. Everett and Ekeler had TD catches and Williams had a line of 7-120-0.

In a barren tight end landscape, it's been nice to see Everett accrue 16 targets over the last two weeks, and he is ranked as a TE1 with Allen missing another game. Mike Williams is a high-upside WR2 for Week 4, with Josh Palmer becoming a desperation Flex play.

Staley said WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) and TE Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) will also do some individual work.

The hope is Allen can go for Week 3 but that remains to be seen. Williams did step up with a nice fantasy game in Week 2 against the Chiefs and would be a solid play again if Allen is out. The Chargers play a late afternoon home game against the Jags so owners probably want to have a plan in place in case he can't go in Week 3.

With Allen out and Williams an uneventful Week 1, players like Palmer, Carter and even Guyton could have to step up in Week 2 in what could be a high scoring game against the Chiefs.

The tweet went on to say there is optimism after tests that his hamstring injury isn’t anything long-term, per sources. The Bolts Week 3 game is Sept. 25 against the Jaguars, two full weeks after the injury and the hope is there is a chance Allen will be ready to go for that contest. Allen led the way with a 4-66-0 line but Williams was pretty much a no-show. Carter posted a 3-64-1 line and Everett a 3-54-1 line. Palmer had three catches for just five years.

Josh Palmer is making a strong case to be the third wide receiver behind Keenan Allen and Mike Williams and make a big jump in Year 2. Palmer is shining in practices and building a solid rapport with Justin Herbert, creating separation with great routes and catching everything thrown in his direction. Palmer has has an all-rounded skill set to thrive as the Z receiver, with his impressive route running, reliability, and ball skills.

As the story said, the Chargers did not make any significant additions to their wide receiver room this offseason, and a big part of that was their belief in Palmer. The 2021 third-round pick did not start to see the field until the midway part of the season, but he flashed every time he was on. Palmer ended up catching 33 passes for 353 yards with four touchdowns in 2021. It may be tough for Palmer to earn targets with Allen and Williams in the lineup, however.

Palmer has been hounding Keenan Allen —who he may replace in 2023— about route running heading into his sophomore season.

It looks like a lock that Palmer will have the WR3 role in Los Angeles and could play a massive role if Keenan Allen were to miss any time. Palmer filled in for Allen during Week 15 of last season, securing a 5-66-1 line during his rookie season. The article would go on to mention that the team could save almost $15 million in cap space if they were to move on from Allen after this season.

The Los Angeles Chargers have re-signed WR Mike Williams to a three-year, $60 million deal that keeps him from reaching free agency.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams has been activated from the reserve/COVID list.

Williams was set to miss Week 17 due to being unvaccinated but is able to make his return with the NFL changing the time players who test positive need to remain sidelined and in health and safety protocols. Mike Williams is currently our 27th ranked wide receiver for Week 17.

The NFL informed clubs that unvaccinated players who tested positive for COVID-19 in recent days -- including #Colts QB Carson Wentz and LB Darius Leonard and #Chargers WR Mike Williams -- are now eligible to play Sunday provided symptoms have improved, per sources.

We reported earlier today the league and the NFLPA were in talks about this. You can read the complete memo on Pelissero's Twitter page. But some keys are vaccinated players can test out in less than five days. The five days is mandatory for unvaccinated players but it will allow those tested early in the week to still have a chance to play in the next game - obviously very important with the upcoming playoffs.
