Chargers CB Desmond King ruled out vs. Broncos

Chargers cornerback Desmond King has been viewed as a possible trade option.

The Chargers added cornerback Desmond King to the injury report, ruling him out ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Broncos.

The reason for King being ruled out is not injury related.

This wouldn’t be King’s first rodeo being ruled out for non-injury related reasons. The same incident occurred in Week 15 of the 2019 season.

King has served as the team’s starting slot corner ever since Chris Harris Jr. was placed on the injured reserve. Since then, he has produced a mixed bag of results. While he’s been strong in the run game, he has been inconsistent in coverage.

King is in the final year of his contract and has been tabbed as a potential trade candidate. With the trade deadline being on Nov. 3, there’s some reason to be believe that he could be out the door prior to.

With King out tomorrow, the team could use the defensive backs in a variety of ways to fill his void. But the most realistic option is starting Tevaughn Campbell inside.

We will update once we find out why King was ruled out for tomorrow’s contest.
