Starting edge rusher Malcolm Koonce suffered a knee injury and was officially listed as limited.

With three drafted rookies limited the past two days, they were joined by second round rookie Jackson Powers-Johnson, bringing the total injured rookies to four along with top pick Brock Bowers, fourth round pick DeCamerion Richardson, and fifth rounder Tommy Eichenberg — all of whom are limited.

Powers-Johnson was listed with an illness, but he was already looking at not seeing much, if any, playing time due to missing all of training camp with an undisclosed injury. Which means his chances of playing in the season opener in Los Angeles only decrease now.

Not much changed for the Chargers. Wide receiver DJ Chark (hip) missed a second straight practice. Fellow receiver Josh Palmer showed up with a knnee issue, but he was still listed as a full participant. Only CB Tarheeb Still (hip) was limited.
