Coach Mike McCoy confirmed that Allen (collarbone) won't play Saturday against the 49ers, the San Diego Union-Tribune's Michael Gehlken reports.

Analysis:

Meanwhile, Allen hasn't been ruled out for Week 17, but his status for that game looks iffy at this stage. With Allen out this week, at a minimum, fellow wideouts Malcom Floyd and Eddie Royal are candidates to see added looks in the Chargers' passing attack Saturday, along with Seyi Ajirotutu.
