Chargers and Texans Set for Playoff Clash

The Los Angeles Chargers will have key players J.K. Dobbins, Quentin Johnston, and Denzel Perryman active for the playoff game against the Houston Texans, despite being listed as questionable due to injuries. Dobbins, who struggled with an ankle issue, and Johnston, dealing with a thigh injury and illness, are both ready to contribute after limited practice participation. Offensive tackle Trey Pipkins will be inactive due to an oblique injury, with Jamaree Salyer stepping in. Kimani Vidal and Jaret Patterson are also inactive, indicating the Chargers' reliance on Dobbins and Gus Edwards. The Texans, meanwhile, have no surprise inactives, with key players Denico Autry, John Metchie, and Christian Harris available. The game is set to kick off at 1:30 PM PT and will be broadcast on CBS and Paramount+.
