The Los Angeles Chargers are set to take on the Las Vegas Raiders in yet another division matchup at 10 PM ET tonight.
With that being said, here are the inactive players and practice squad elevation moves the Chargers have made in preparation for the game tonight.
Los Angeles Chargers, Final Injury Report
Is Jim Harbaugh The Real Life Ted Lasso?
S – Elijah Molden – OUT
Safety Elijah Molden has not practiced since Thursday and will be sidelined by a hamstring injury.
LB – Denzel Perryman – OUT (IR)
Starting linebacker Denzel Perryman suffered a high ankle sprain against the Chiefs in Week 1 and has just been placed on short-term IR. He’ll miss a minimum of 4 games as he continues to work his way back on the field.
LB – Daiyan Henley – Questionable
Daiyan Henley was a last-minute addition on the injury report, as he’s currently battling an illness. Hopefully, it doesn’t impede
LB – Del’Shawn Phillips – Questionable
Phillips is dealing with a toe injury, but was able to log back-to-back limited practices on Friday and Saturday, which bolsters his chances of playing against the Raiders.
Active Roster Signing
LS – Rick Lovato
The Chargers have decided to sign veteran long snapper Rick Lovato to the 53-man active roster from the practice squad, with starting LS Josh Harris still on IR due to a sternum injury suffered in the preseason.
This move allows the Chargers to have more flexibility in terms of practice squad elevations and not be forced to use one of the elevations on Lovato each week.
Practice Squad Elevations
S – Tony Jefferson (Veteran)
LB – Kanai’ Mauga
Due to the injuries at the LB and S positions, the Chargers have elected to elevate 11-year veteran S Tony Jefferson to provide more stability on the backend.
They’ve also brought up LB Kanai Mauga, who figures to be the special teams replacement if Del’Shawn Phillips isn’t able to suit up. He also provides more depth in a razor-thin LB group that’s littered with injuries right now.
