Link to story Chargers | Anthony Lynn let go Mon Jan 4, 11:55 AM
Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn was fired Monday, Jan. 4.
| Footballguys view: Lynn had a 33-31 record with the Chargers during the regular season and made one trip to the postseason with them in four years. The team regularly lost games late under Lynn and that's what cost him his job even though the team has a young rising star in QB Justin Herbert. With the assets on both sides of the ball, and Herbert at quarterback, the Chargers will be quite the attractive destination for a new head coach. |

Chargers | Keenan Allen put on COVID list Thu Dec 31, 04:50 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Dec. 31.
| Footballguys view: That ends Allen's season as he won't be cleared to play in Week 17 against the Chiefs. Allen fought through injuries to post 100 catches for 992 yards and eight receiving touchdowns. He's signed through the 2024 season, Allen has a cap hit of $19.2 million in 2021 with $8.1 million in dead money. The future is bright for the Chargers because of QB Justin Herbert and Allen can continue to be a dominant presence for the team so long as he's healthy. |

Chargers | Hunter Henry headed to COVID list Thu Dec 24, 03:53 PM

| Footballguys view: That means Henry will miss the game against the Broncos on Sunday. Donald Parham is the next man up and he had two touchdowns earlier this season in a reserve role. The Broncos are weak against the tight end so perhaps Parham is a sneaky (desperate?) 'what the heck' streaming option. Consider him a TE2 with upside. |
