Chargers make roster moves ahead of Week 7

The Los Angeles Chargers get some reinforcements back along the defensive line.

The Chargers made a few roster moves ahead of their Week 7 matchup against the Jaguars.

Los Angeles activated defensive end Melvin Ingram and defensive tackle Justin Jones from the injured reserve. In correspondence, the team released defensive end Jesse Lemonier and wide receiver Jason Moore.

Along with those moves, L.A. promoted running back Troymaine Pope from the practice squad and downgraded tackle Bryan Bulaga from doubtful to questionable.

Ingram and Jones will likely be on snap counts since it’s been a few weeks that both have seen live game action.

It was thought that Bulaga would be healthy enough to return, but it appears he needs more time to recover from a back injury. Trey Pipkins will start at right tackle.

Chargers place CB Chris Harris, Jr. on injured reserve, add safety Jahleel Addae to active roster

The four-time Pro Bowler is headed to the IR.

The Chargers will be without their starting slot cornerback for the next four to six weeks.

Chris Harris Jr. suffered a foot injury during Los Angeles’ Week 3 loss to the Panthers. Fortunately for L.A., Harris will suit up for them again in 2020 as this injury is not considered season-ending.

Harris was signed this past offseason after spending the first nine years of his career with the Broncos where he earned four trips to the Pro Bowl.

Through the first three games with the Bolts, Harris has totaled 15 tackles and one pass deflection while playing on nearly 93% of the defensive snaps.

With Harris out, Desmond King will likely fill his void. King’s playing time has taken a toll with Harris getting the majority of the snaps in the slot.

In correspondence, the Chargers added safety Jahleel Addae to the active roster.
