The Chargers' injury report for Week 7 is out, and it's painting a picture of a team battling through some key absences. Let's dive in!
On Wednesday, the first injury report revealed a few key players who were sidelined. Left tackle Joe Alt (ankle), right tackle Trey Pipkins III (knee), safety Elijah Molden (thumb), wide receiver Keenan Allen (rest), and linebacker Troy Dye (thumb) all sat out practice.
Six players were limited in their participation, which means they were able to practice, but likely with some restrictions. These include notable names like outside linebacker Khalil Mack (elbow), linebacker Daiyan Henley (groin), and safety Derwin James, Jr. (rest/wrist). Other limited players were wide receiver Quentin Johnston (hamstring), wide receiver Derius Davis (knee), and offensive lineman Jamaree Salyer (knee).
On a positive note, linebacker Denzel Perryman (ankle), fullback/defensive tackle Scott Matlock (ankle), and outside linebacker Kyle Kennard (knee) were all full participants in practice.
Here's an interesting tidbit: The Chargers opened Mack's 21-day practice window on Wednesday, and Perryman's 21-day practice window last week. This means these players are on track to potentially return to the field soon.
The Chargers will face off against the Colts this Sunday at SoFi Stadium. The game kicks off at 1:05 p.m. PT.
So, what do you think? How will these injuries impact the Chargers' performance? Do you think the returning players will make a significant difference? Share your thoughts in the comments!
