SAN DIEGO
Keenan Allen was placed on season- ending injured reserve.
Rookie Joey Bosa was activated, with no real target date for when he’ll make his NFL debut.
And coach Mike McCoy had no real answers — or at least ones he wanted to make public — about why the San Diego Chargers collapsed in a 33-27 overtime loss at Kansas City on Sunday.
It was far from the start needed by the Chargers, who on Nov. 8 will ask voters to approve an increase in the hotel tax to help raise $1.1 billion to build a new stadium downtown.
They lost Allen to a suspected torn right ACL in the first half, when they looked like world-beaters rather than the team that flopped at 4- 12 last year. It’s a particularly tough injury, considering that Allen missed the final eight games of 2015 with a lacerated kidney suffered making a spectacular touchdown catch.
Then they lost the game after leading by 21 points in the third quarter.
