On Tuesday afternoon, NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported that the Chargers are placing backup quarterback Chase Daniel on the NFL’s reserve/COVID-19 list. He joins seven other players who were placed on the list Monday, including Joey Bosa and Corey Linsley.
Like the rest of the league, the Chargers look like they’re dealing with their own minor situation and could be without a good amount of players when they take the field this Sunday in Houston.
Rookie offensive tackle Rashawn Slater luckily returned to practice on Monday which means the Chargers will get back one of their cornerstone players, but the impact of Bosa (who is already out for Sunday) and Linsley being away from the team can’t be understated.
