Overview
- Alt was carted off in the second quarter against the Titans and did not return, with multiple outlets reporting it is the same right high-ankle sprain that sidelined him for three games earlier this season.
- ESPN reported the injury could require a medical procedure, and an MRI is scheduled for Monday to determine severity after the Chargers’ 27-20 win in Nashville.
- Head coach Jim Harbaugh offered no immediate update postgame, as the already thin line also lost right tackle Bobby Hart to groin and ankle injuries and allowed a season-high six sacks.
- In games Alt finishes, Los Angeles is unbeaten this year, and team metrics show a steep drop in pass protection and quarterback efficiency when he is out, per ESPN’s tracking.
- With Rashawn Slater out for the season and starters shuffling to cover gaps, local reporting projects a multi-week absence for Alt as the Steelers and Jaguars loom and trade options are weighed ahead of Tuesday’s deadline.
