San Diego Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen is done for the season after injuring a kidney while making a spectacular touchdown catch in a loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

The Chargers placed Allen on season-ending injured reserve on Tuesday.

Allen, who was second in the NFL with 67 catches on the season, was hurt while making a touchdown catch just before half-time of Sunday's 29-26 loss at Baltimore. At the time, the Chargers thought Allen was winded.

Allen was on pace for a 134-catch season that would have broken the team record of 100 set by LaDainian Tomlinson in 2003.

Allen was third in the NFL this season with 725 yards receiving. He had four touchdown receptions.
