On Sunday afternoon, the Los Angeles Chargers will hit<\/a> the road for a game against the Dallas Cowboys at 1:00 pm ET. While the Cowboys were eliminated<\/a> from playoff contention on Saturday due to a win by the Philadelphia Eagles, the Chargers still have everything to play for in this game, including an outside shot at the AFC West divisional crown.<\/p>\n

Prior to the game on Sunday, the Chargers got a positive injury update<\/a> on one of their key wide receivers.<\/p>\n

\u201c#Chargers WR Quentin Johnston<\/a> is up,\u201d reported NFL insider Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network on X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n

Johnston missed last week’s road game against the Kansas City Chiefs with a groin injury, but will be back out there to take on a Cowboys defense that has not exactly been a great unit so far this season.<\/p>\n

Johnston has turned himself into a key member of the Chargers’ wide receiver room over the last couple of seasons, overcoming an early portion of his career that was largely defined by dropped passes.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Chargers’ much-maligned offensive line will do its best to give quarterback Justin Herbert some time in the pocket against a Cowboys defense that will be playing without star pass rusher Quinnen Williams, who will miss this game due to a concussion.<\/p>\n

In any case, the Cowboys and Chargers are set to kick things off on Sunday at 1:00 pm ET from Arlington. After that, the Chargers will next hit the field on Saturday against the Houston Texans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Sunday afternoon, the Los Angeles Chargers will hit the road for a game against the Dallas Cowboys…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":617493,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2064],"tags":[241,7,1014,262,2444,2443,6,30382,9277],"class_list":{"0":"post-617492","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-chargers","8":"tag-chargers","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-los-angeles","11":"tag-los-angeles-chargers","12":"tag-losangeles","13":"tag-losangeleschargers","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-nfl-injury","16":"tag-quentin-johnston"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115758638576896038","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/617492","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=617492"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/617492\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/617493"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=617492"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=617492"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=617492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
