Star receiver Keenan Allen will miss his second straight game with a heel injury when the Los Angeles Chargers host the Buffalo Bills on Saturday.

Allen didn't practice all week and the team formally ruled him out on Thursday.

Allen also missed the club's humiliating 63-21 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Dec. 14.

The 31-year-old has enjoyed a big season in his 11th NFL campaign. Allen has a league-high 108 receptions while accumulating 1,243 yards and seven touchdowns.

Cornerback Deane Leonard (heel) is doubtful for the Chargers.

For Buffalo, safety Micah Hyde (neck stinger) was ruled out. He is missing his second straight contest.
