Joshua Palmer was ruled out for the Monday night game against the Jets.
Palmer is dealing with a knee injury he sustained in Week 7 against the Chiefs and aggravated last Sunday against the Bears. He did not log a practice during the week.
With Palmer out, rookie Quentin Johnston is positioned to be a top target alongside Keenan Allen. Johnston had five catches for 50 yards in Week 9.
The Chargers have six players questionable: Morgan Fox (oblique), Jalen Guyton (knee), Sebastian Joseph-Day (illness), Eric Kendricks (ribs), Kenneth Murray (shoulder) and Otito Ogbonnia (knee).
Brandon Staley commented on Guyton and Ogbonnia, who have yet to be activated off the PUP list, potentially making their return on Monday.
“We’re going to take the next 48 hours to determine that,” Staley said. “They had a full week of practice. Just going to talk about it as a coaching staff and figure it out between now and when we leave.”
