Keenan Allen Won't Return for Chargers vs. Saints Because of Back Injury

wide receiver has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday night's game against the New Orleans Saints after suffering a back injury during the first half.

Allen had two receptions for 29 yards and one touchdown prior to exiting.

After dealing with injuries early in his career, Allen has been a steady presence in the Chargers lineup for the past three seasons. The 28-year-old hasn't missed a game since a season-ending ACL injury in the first game of 2016.

Being able to stay on the field has allowed Allen to showcase his unique talents.
