Ahead of Sunday’s home date with the Chiefs, the Chargers have announced that offensive tackle Joe Alt has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful this week. Justin Herbert, should he play, will be out there with neither of his starting tackles.
The Chargers are also elevating linebacker Blake Lynch and offensive lineman Sam Mustipher to the active roster for Sunday. Lynch was recently signed by the Chargers after playing for the team in 2023. He’s familiar with special teams coordinator Ryan Ficken and is expected to play the same role Shaquille Quarterman (out of game day elevations) has on kick coverages the past three weeks.
