The Los Angeles Chargers announced their official inactives ahead of their prominent contest against the Baltimore Ravens. Both cornerback Cam Hart and linebacker Denzel Perryman were listed among the players ruled out for the game, but edge rushers Khalil Mack and Bud Dupree weren’t listed, meaning they will be available to play, in some capacity in this Monday Night Football tilt.
The Chargers moved corner Eli Apple and safety Tony Jefferson to the active roster shortly before announcing their inactive players for the game, likely in anticipation of Hart missing the game. Hart was listed as a full participant on the final injury report
Chargers Edge Rushing Room Injury Issue
Mack and Dupree were listed as questionable heading into this game. This means that the only dedicated edge rusher not injured on this team is Tuli Tuipulotu. While Tuipulotu is having a great season, the Chargers will need a complement on the other side. Even if Bosa is a full go, he can’t play 100 percent of the snap. They will need contributions from Mack and/or Dupree, both of which aren’t guaranteed.
While star defensive end Joey Bosa is making progress and is expected to play, Bosa took on his biggest snap share last week (67 percent) after three weeks of being on a significant pitch count, playing less than 30 percent of snaps in those games. In addition to Mack, Bud Dupree was also listed as questionable heading into this game.

Based on his interview interview, Mack is eager to resume playing. “Yeah, that was nerve-wracking as a m—ther f–ker sitting on the sideline watching it kind of all unfold and not being able to go out and help in any kind of way.”
