A bruised heel will sideline NFL-leading receiver Keenan Allen for Thursday's game between the Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders.

Allen leads the NFL with 108 receptions for 1,243 yards and seven touchdowns. He will be sidelined along with quarterback Justin Herbert, who had finger surgery Tuesday. Defensive back Deane Leonard will also miss Week 15 with ankle and heel injuries.

Allen had 35 receptions during a three-game stretch in November and has been targeted 150 times in 2023.

Running back Austin Ekeler is second on the team with 58 targets.
