Chargers injury updates: Justin Jackson, Mike Williams, Rashawn Slater

Checking in on the health of the Chargers following the preseason opener.

Following the preseason opener against the Rams, the Chargers returned to the practice field on Monday to prepare for their joint practices and preseason matchup with the 49ers this week.

Los Angeles remained relatively healthy coming off this past weekend, but players were still banged up.

Running back Justin Jackson, who sustained a groin injury, did not participate and he is not expected to be available this week, either.

Wide receiver Mike Williams has been dealing with a hip flexor injury and is expected to miss the two joint practices.

Offensive tackle Rashawn Slater did not practice today due to some tightness in his lower back, but the plan is for him to be ready for later this week.

Long snapper Cole Mazza suffered a shoulder injury and was wearing a sling at practice Monday. As insurance, the Chargers signed veteran Matt Overton.

Cornerback Ryan Smith, who has missed nearly the entire summer with a core injury, might not be ready for the start of the regular season.

Chargers final injury report vs. Jets: 2 questionable

The Los Angeles Chargers will have defensive end Joey Bosa back this Sunday.

The Los Angeles Chargers released their final injury report ahead of the Week 11 battle with the New York Jets.

Here is a look at the report:

QUESTIONABLE

LS Cole Mazza

QB Tyrod Taylor

Defensive end Joey Bosa, who missed the last two games with a concussion, will play.

Soach Anthony Lynn says if Cole Mazza can’t go, fullback Gabe Nabers or offensive tackle Trey Pipkins will be the long snappers.

“He didn’t regress. He’s doing fine. He just wanted to get something checked out. Once he got that checked out, he’s very confident he can play in the game and be OK,” Lynn said on Tyrod Taylor’s rib injury.

Right tackle Sam Tevi has officially been ruled out. Trent Scott will start in place of him. Meanwhile, left tackle Russell Okung is questionable, which means there’s a chance he will play. If he can’t go, Trey Pipkins would get the start.

Safety Roderic Teamer and long snapper Cole Mazza are questionable, as well. Teamer hasn’t played since Week 8, as he’s been dealing with a groin injury. If Mazza isn’t good for Monday’s matchup, recently acquired Matt Overton will start.

Wide receiver Geremy Davis and running back Justin Jackson are both doubtful.

The Los Angeles Chargers released their first injury report ahead of their Week 11 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Chargers had their first practice ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Chiefs, which was held at Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO.

Here is the full injury report:

Six players did not practice on Thursday.

Offensive tackles Russell Okung’s (groin) status remains up in the air. If Okung can’t play, rookie Trey Pipkins will get the start at left tackle. Meanwhile, Sam Tevi (knee), who’s recovering from a minor surgery, won’t play. Trent Scott will start at right tackle.

Defensive tackle Cortez Broughton (illness) remains out of practice while dealing with mono. Meanwhile, Justin Jones was a full participant and all signs are pointing to him playing on Monday. Jones hasn’t played since Week 6.

Los Angeles was also without running back Justin Jackson (calf), wide receiver Geremy Davis (hamstring) and long snapper Cole Mazza (illness).

If Mazza can’t play, the Chargers will have to make a roster move prior to the game.
