Allen who missed the last eight games of the season last season due to a lacerated kidney worked his way back and was looking forward to a big year. Allen was going to be a major help to the Chargers offense this season.

Philip Rivers will now need players like Travis Benjamin, Danny Woodhead, and the veteran Antonio Gates to step up and pick up the slack.
