Justin Herbert got his center back Thursday as the Chargers prepare to face the Raiders. Linsley was lost to a back injury after 15 snaps last week in the Chargers’ win over the Broncos.
The veteran All Pro center has started every game this season and has been named to the 2022 Pro Bowl squad, so his return is big for the Chargers as Sunday night’s game figures to be a make-or-break game for both teams’ playoff hopes. He practiced full on Thursday.

Thursday was another walk-thru for the Raiders, but they once again list Johnathan Hankins as a non-participant. Hankins missed last Sunday’s game against the Colts with a back injury.
The only other changes to either team’s injury report was two players coming off rest days. Josh Jacobs (ribs), Tre’von Moehrig (shoulder), Denzel Perryman (ankle), and Darren Waller (knee) were once again listed as Limited for the Raiders.
DL Joe Gaziano (ankle) was still not practicing for the Chargers.
