Chargers Updated Wide Receiver Depth Chart After Signing Keenan Allen

In this story:
Keenan Allen is officially back in L.A.
After visiting with the Chargers last week, the 33-year-old has agreed to terms on a one-year, $8.52 million deal with the club according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport.
The Chargers' signing of Allen—who was a perennial Pro Bowler during his first stint with the Bolts—comes following the abrupt retirement of wide receiver Mike Williams last month. Allen became a security blanket of sorts for Justin Herbert as he developed, and the two will look to reignite that rapport as the quarterback enters his sixth NFL season.
Here's a look at the Chargers' updated wide receiver room and depth chart following the signing of Keenan Allen:
