Chargers vs. Broncos Week 6 Injury Report: Saturday

Two Chargers players received injury designations ahead of Monday's game against the Broncos.

COSTA MESA – The Chargers held their final practice of the week on Saturday in preparation for their Week 6 matchup on primetime against the Broncos.

Wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) participated in a limited portion of the team's individual drills before moving off to the side and working with a trainer in which he ran sprints at about 60 to 70 percent.

Kicker Dustin Hopkins (quad) was present during Saturday's practice, being considered a full participant. Chargers coach Brandon Staley said Hopkins will be good to go for this week's game as he'll handle the kicking duties.

Right tackle Trey Pipkins (knee) is dealing with an MCL sprain, prompting him to wear an extensive brace throughout this week's practices. He's been a limited participant on the injury report each day this week.

Center Corey Linsley (illness) missed Saturday's practice, but is expected to play Monday night.

The Chargers have two players who received injury designations while the Broncos have nine.
