Overview
- The Titans ruled out DT Jeffery Simmons, WR Calvin Ridley, OLB Arden Key and S Xavier Woods for Sunday, tightening an already depleted defense and receiving corps.
- BetMGM lists Los Angeles as a 9.5-point favorite, and national prediction panels largely back a double-digit Chargers win.
- Justin Herbert leads the NFL with 2,140 passing yards and has thrown three touchdowns in each of his past two games as L.A. converts a league-best 48.7% on third down.
- Los Angeles expects CB Tarheeb Still to sit, with S Derwin James Jr. limited by an ankle issue and RG Mekhi Becton managing a knee injury, following a mini-bye after a 37-10 win over the Vikings.
- Tennessee is 1-7 with the NFL’s lowest-ranked offense and rookie QB Cam Ward taking heavy sack totals, facing a Chargers pass rush featuring Khalil Mack; kickoff is Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on CBS in Nashville.
