The receiver has missed the last five games due to a hamstring injury. He is listed as questionable for the game against Seattle, but coach Brandon Staley said it will be a game-time decision.
This is the second straight week Allen has been listed as limited in all the team's practices, but he did participate in team and individual drills on Friday. Allen has not played since the first half of the Sept. 11 opener against Las Vegas, when he had four carries and 66 yards before he injured the hamstring.
"We've come this far. Patience is a virtue. We won't put him out there unless we know that he can go. But if there's any apprehension, then he won't go," Staley said. Michael Bandy has used up his three gameday elevations from the practice squad, meaning the Chargers would have to sign him to the active roster if they wanted him to play. Joe Reed, the team's fifth-round pick in 2020, could also be a gameday elevation if they need to make a pair of moves.
