Los Angeles Chargers leading receiver Keenan Allen was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, putting his availability for Sunday’s game against the New York Giants in doubt.
Allen was one of 11 players placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list by teams on Monday. All of the moves were the result of positive tests, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.
Allen, who has been selected to the Pro Bowl each of the past four seasons, leads the Chargers with 86 receptions and 929 receiving yards this season and has four touchdown receptions.
If Allen is vaccinated, he will need two negative tests 24 hours apart and to be asymptomatic for 48 hours before he can return. If he is unvaccinated, Allen will have to stay away from the team for a minimum of 10 days.
The Chargers improved to 7-5 with their 41-22 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, a game in which Allen had two touchdown receptions.
Los Angeles is currently in second place in the AFC West standings.
