Keenan Allen returns to Chargers, feeling at home in new facility
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — Keenan Allen walked into Los Angeles Charges training camp on Thursday feeling at home, despite a head coach and training facility that were new to him. The six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver got to work two days after signing with the team that drafted him in 2013 after spending last season with the Chicago Bears. 'This is amazing,' he said, gesturing at The Bolt, the team's year-old facility. 'Just happy to be back. This is where I'm supposed to be.' Although Allen said his year in Chicago 'was all love,' he still kept on eye on the Chargers under first-year coach Jim Harbaugh. 'This is more close to home, my family, what I'm used to,' he said. 'The organization, people around the building. Just feel like I'm home.' The Chargers traded Allen to the Bears last offseason for a fourth-round draft pick in a move he believes 'could have been prevented at some point.' He had 70 catches for 744 yards and seven TDs in Chicago. In the free agent market, Allen said he 'got a little downplayed' and that is motivating him. 'I still want to play, still got a little hunger, a chip on my shoulder,' he said. Entering his 13th season, Allen is the second-most experienced player on the roster behind long snapper Josh Harris with 14 years. Allen joins a wide receiver corps that is different than in recent years. Ladd McConkey returns for his second season after breaking Allen's single-season rookie record for catches and yards. 'That was great,' Allen said, before adding with a smile, 'He had a little bit more games.' Allen sees himself fitting in well with McConkey. 'You got two guys who know how to play football and love to play football. I think you can put us anywhere,' he said. 'Last year, he showed he can do it all too. He's elusive, fast, he made a lot of plays.' The Chargers also have Quentin Johnston, Tyler Conklin and rookies Tre' Harris and KeAndre Lambert-Smith after free agent Mike Williams suddenly retired before the start of training camp. 'The young guys are much better than what I'm used to seeing in training camp this early,' Allen said. 'Their technique, the way they're getting down field, the way they're pressing coverage I think is great.' Allen talks to Williams and said there's 'zero chance' he would unretire. Second-year defensive coordinator Jesse Minter met Allen for the first time before practice. 'Man, it was awesome. So much respect for Keenan, glad we got him back,' he said. 'It's just another weapon that you can tell has a lot of familiarity and comfort with the quarterback. I'm excited to see what he brings to that side of the ball.' Quarterback Justin Herbert made Allen his favorite target in their previous time together, with the 33-year-old wide receiver catching 24 TD passes. 'You got to put the work in. I'm not in football shape. They threw me right in the fire, put the pads on,' Allen said. 'You got to get in there and do it at some point so might as well go out the first day. Tomorrow should be easier, just start to get your confidence and feel back.' ___

Chargers sign TE Thomas Yassmin
The Chargers swapped players who are part of the NFL's International Player Pathway training program. They announced Thursday they signed tight end Thomas Yassmin, and in a corresponding move, they waived tight end Jordan Petaia with an injury designation. Yassmin spent the 2024 season on the Broncos' practice squad via the IPP program. He played college football at the University of Utah, redshirting in 2018 before starting 10 of 47 games played for the Utes the next five seasons (2019-23). In his collegiate career, Yassmin caught 22 passes for 396 yards and seven touchdowns. A native of Sydney, Australia, Yassmin played rugby and basketball at The Scots College in New South Wales, Australia. He was named to the Australian Schools Barbarians all-star team, which played in Fiji and New Zealand at the Tri Nations Series in 2017. Petaia is a native of Melbourne, Australia. He has appeared in a pair of Rugby World Cups (2019 in Japan and 2023 in France) for the Wallabies, becoming the youngest Australian to play at a World Cup in 2019 at 18 years old. He trained in the IPP program over 10 weeks at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, culminated by showcasing his skills at a Pro Day at the University of South Florida on March 26. The IPP program, established in 2017, is designed to offer elite athletes from around the world with experience in other sports the opportunity to improve and develop their skills to earn a spot on an NFL roster.

All Joe Burrow could do was laugh as Chiefs rested starters vs Broncos in Week 18
After the Cincinnati Bengals' win against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 18 on January 4, they needed the Kansas City Chiefs to beat the Denver Broncos the following day, in addition to a New York Jets' win or tie against the Miami Dolphins in order to make the NFL playoffs. "Quarterback," the Netflix documentary with a new season featuring Joe Burrow, showed the Bengals' quarterback watching hopelessly as the Chiefs rested many of their starters against Denver. The Broncos went on to win 38-0, eliminating Cincinnati from playoff contention. "Anything can happen any given day," Burrow says in the seventh episode, while watching the Chiefs and Broncos from his couch. "It's obviously frustrating, but we put ourselves in this position." "It's tough to win a game without playing any of your starters," Burrow says as he watches Denver take an early lead with a touchdown. Burrow laughs as the Broncos go ahead by two touchdowns. "I mean, not great," Burrow says as he eats a sandwich. "But there's nothing I can do about it. All I can do is sit here and watch." "It's offseason pretty much," Burrow adds as the Broncos win and advance to the playoffs. "Which in ways is a relief, and also frustrating and annoying, and a lot of different things. You didn't ultimately do what you wanted to do, and that was - it's not great. But when you get to an offseason healthy, that's a weight off your shoulders, I'd say. I've had a lot of not healthy offseasons." This story was updated to add a gallery.
