With the Los Angeles Chargers (9-4) taking on AFC West division rival Kansas City (6-7) at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in what could be an elimination game for the Chiefs on Dec. 14, the Bolts have unveiled their Thursday injury report ahead of the crucial matchup.
As Los Angeles defeated the Philadelphia Eagles (8-5) in overtime by a score of 22-19 on Dec. 9, the Chargers have one less day to prepare for Sunday’s clash. While there is still one day of practice remaining, the Bolts have quite a few notable names listed.
Chargers Injury Report
Per the Dec. 11 injury report, the Chargers have nine players listed.
For those who have improved their status since the listing on Dec. 10, veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen and outside linebacker Khalil Mack returned to full practice on Thursday after not participating on Wednesday. Those two were given a rest on Wednesday, indicating their statuses are not considered injury-related.
Tight end Will Dissly (Shoulder) also returned to full participation after being held out of Wednesday’s practice, but his status is indeed due to a potential ailment.
Quarterback Justin Herbert (Left Hand) and wide receiver Ladd McConckey (Foot) both held a “limited practice” designation on Wednesday and Thursday. For Herbert, the “limited practice” is likely out of precaution with his surgically repaired finger, and he is still expected to start against the Chiefs.
The remainder of the report contains the four other Bolts players: wide receiver Derius Davis (Ankle), linebacker Troy Dye (Hip), defensive back Elijah Molden (Hamstring), and guard/tackle Trey Pipkins (Ankle), all of whom have held “Did Not Participate” tags for the past two days.
The Charger-Chiefs game on Sunday will air on CBS, with kickoff scheduled for 10 a.m. PT.
