Chargers Injuries
QUESTIONABLE
RB – Omarion Hampton (IR – ankle)
RB – Hassan Haskins (IR – Hamstring)
QB – Justin Herbert (Left hand)
DT – Otito Ogbonnia (Elbow)
The big one here obviously will be the health of quarterback Justin Herbert, who was listed as a limited participant in all three practices this week. Coming fresh off left-finger surgery on Monday, many under-center play-action and I-Formation plays will be out of the playbook for the Charges due to his limitations. However, it does fully seem like Herbert is on track to take the field, which is the best news the Chargers could’ve received.
Running back Omarion Hampton will also be back from this contest after being activated off IR. Having been knocked out of action since Week 5 against the Washington Commanders due to a fractured ankle, his return will significantly boost the rushing attack.
Is Jim Harbaugh The Real Life Ted Lasso?
OUT
TE – Tucker Fisk
Fisk was unable to practice all three days this week, leaving him sidelined for this contest. He’s an extremely valuable asset in the run blocking department, in which case tight end Will Dissly, who’s been a healthy scratch the past few games, will pick up the slack.
Chargers vs Eagles
By the Chargers’ standards, the injury report this week is relatively limited. With most of the team being healthy, it could give them a better shot at taking down the defending Super Bowl Champions, who are without their star defensive tackle Jalen Carter (shoulders) and right tackle Lane Johnson (foot).
