Injuries Impact Chargers vs. Chiefs Matchup

In preparation for their upcoming matchup, the Los Angeles Chargers will face the Kansas City Chiefs without key players due to injuries, notably offensive tackle Rashawn Slater, who has been ruled out with a pectoral injury. The Chargers are also likely to miss starting tackles Joe Alt and other significant contributors, while the Chiefs will be without defensive end Mike Danna, sidelined with a calf injury. Danna's absence is expected to impact the Chiefs' pass rush, leading to increased roles for second-year player Felix Anudike-Uzomah and potentially newcomer Cameron Thomas. Both teams are grappling with injury challenges; the Chargers have nine players listed as out or questionable. Despite these setbacks, other players on the Chiefs' roster are expected to contribute, including wide receiver Rashee Rice and defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi. The game is crucial for both teams as they aim to bounce back from recent losses.
