The Los Angeles Chargers have ruled out wide receivers Keenan Allen and Josh Palmer and pass-rusher Joey Bosa for Sunday's game at the Denver Broncos.

The team announced the news Friday. Allen (heel) will miss his third straight game and Bosa (foot) will miss his sixth straight. Palmer sustained a concussion in last week's 24-22 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Allen, 31, leads the Chargers with 108 catches for 1,243 yards and seven touchdowns in 13 games.

Palmer, 24, has 32 receptions for 537 yards and two scores in nine games (five starts).

Bosa, 28, has recorded 6.5 sacks and 20 tackles in nine games (five starts) this season.

Linebacker Kenneth Murray (shoulder) and Tanner Muse (knee) and defensive tackle Nick Williams (shoulder) are doubtful for the Week 17 contest. Tight end Nick Vannett (back), cornerback Deane Leonard (heel) and guard Zion Johnson (knee) are questionable.

The Chargers (5-10) lost 24-7 to the Broncos (7-8) in the first meeting of the AFC West rivals in Week 14 in Inglewood, Calif.
