Chargers’ Corey Linsley to be placed on injured reserve

The Chargers will be without Corey Linsley for at least the next four games.

The Chargers will be without starting center Corey Linsley for at least the next four games.

According to multiple reports, Linsley is going to be placed on injured reserve with a non-emergent heart-related medical issue.

Linsley will continue working with doctors and specialists in the coming days.

With Linsley out, L.A. will turn to Will Clapp to resume the duties as the starter at center.

Signed last offseason, Clapp started three games while Linsley was out with a knee injury, food poisoning and a concussion in 2022. He was strong in pass protection, allowing just four pressures on 252 pass-block snaps.

Signed in 2021, Linsley has appeared in 33 games. In his first season with the Bolts, he was named second-team All-Pro and made his first Pro Bowl.

Corey Linsley ruled out, Austin Ekeler, Derwin James doubtful for Week 4 vs. Raiders

The Chargers have a lengthy final injury report.

The Chargers will be without several key players when they face the Raiders this Sunday.

Corey Linsley (illness) and JT Woods (illness) have all been officially ruled out for the Week 4 game.

With Linsley out, Will Clapp will be the starting center this weekend.

Additionally, they are likely going to be without Austin Ekeler (ankle), Derwin James (hamstring) and Deane Leonard (hamstring/toe), who are listed as doubtful.

This marks the third straight game that Ekeler will miss. Joshua Kelley will resume the role as the primary running back, with Isaiah Spiller and Elijah Dotson serving as the complementary backs.

Without Woods and James, the safety room is thin. Alohi Gilman is questionable with a heel injury. Dean Marlowe and AJ Finley will likely be promoted from the practice squad.

Joey Bosa (hamstring/toe) is also listed as questionable. Rookie Tuli Tuipulotu should see an uptick in snaps.

Ekeler is nursing an ankle injury that is being deemed just a sprain, while Kendricks has a hamstring injury.

Joshua Kelley will be Los Angeles’ lead back. Kenneth Murray will be the primary defensive play-caller. Amen Ogbongbemiga or Nick Niemann will likely be the one to play alongside Murray.

Chargers final injury report vs. Titans: Austin Ekeler doubtful, Joey Bosa questionable

Four players are doubtful, including Austin Ekeler and Joey Bosa is questionable.

The Chargers had their final practice ahead of the Week 2 game against the Titans this weekend.

Los Angeles is set to be without four players, most notably Austin Ekeler, who is doubtful with an ankle injury.

Ekeler is dealing with what Brandon Staley is calling an “ankle sprain,” which he sustained in last Sunday’s loss to the Dolphins.

Without Ekeler, Joshua Kelley will fill in as the primary back. In Week 1, Kelley ran for 91 yards on 16 carries.

Isaiah Spiller and Elijah Dotson are the other two backs on the 53-man roster.

L.A. will also likely be without Eric Kendricks, Daiyan Henley and Chris Rumph, who are listed as doubtful.

Without Kendricks, Kenneth Murray will wear the green dot and be the primary defensive play-caller, Staley said.

Furthermore, Joey Bosa is questionable for Week 2. After not practicing on Wednesday and Thursday, Bosa was a limited participant on Friday.

Staley said he will be a game-time decision.

Chargers’ Joey Bosa, Austin Ekeler miss second straight practice ahead of Week 2 vs. Titans

The Chargers had three non-participants on Thursday.

The Chargers continued their preparation on Thursday for their game against the Titans this weekend.

For the second consecutive day, Joey Bosa and Austin Ekeler were not on the practice field.

Bosa has not practiced as he’s dealing with a hamstring injury. Ekeler is nursing an ankle injury and missed Wednesday’s practice because he was in attendance for agent Cameron Weiss’ funeral.

If Bosa can’t go, rookie Tuli Tuipulotu will start opposite Khalil Mack. If Ekeler were to miss the game, Joshua Kelley would get the bulk of the touches.

Eric Kendricks was also a non-participant for the second straight day. Kendricks has a hamstring injury but was listed as out for personal reasons.

If Kendricks is unavailable, either Amen Ogbongbemiga or Nick Niemann would be in line to start next to Kenneth Murray.

Chris Rumph and Daiyan Henley were limited participants, both dealing with hamstring injuries.
