Although Lambert-Smith has been the team’s biggest standout of the offseason, he is likely to suffer from the team signing Allen on Tuesday, ESPN’s Khris Rhim speculates. Allen is not guaranteed a return to the starting lineup, but he will likely be a key offensive contributor, which would further bury Lambert-Smith on the depth chart.

Wide receiver Keenan Allen is back with the Los Angeles Chargers after the franchise agreed to terms with the 12-year veteran, who spent his first 11 seasons with the Bolts before suiting up for the Chicago Bears in 2024.
