Chargers Face Key Offensive Line Injuries Ahead Washington Game

News summary

The Los Angeles Chargers are preparing for their Week 5 game against the Washington Commanders without key offensive tackle Joe Alt, who suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 4 and is doubtful to play with no clear return timeline. Offensive guard Mekhi Becton, sidelined last week with a concussion, showed progress in practice and is listed as questionable, pending clearance through concussion protocol. Wide receiver Derius Davis remains out due to a knee injury, while tight end Will Dissly is expected to miss his third game with a knee issue. Head coach Jim Harbaugh has not ruled out placing Alt on injured reserve, which would require a minimum four-game absence, but the team has yet to make that decision. Backup linemen Jamaree Salyer and Foster Sarell have been filling in during practices to compensate for the depleted offensive line. The Chargers face challenges protecting quarterback Justin Herbert amid multiple injuries on their offensive front, underscoring concerns about depth and health on the roster.
