Overview
- Alt was carted off in the second quarter in Nashville and did not return, as Los Angeles beat Tennessee 27-20.
- Multiple reports say it is another high right-ankle sprain, with an MRI scheduled Monday to confirm severity and determine whether a procedure or injured reserve is needed.
- It is the same ankle he sprained in Week 4, which sidelined him for three games before his Oct. 23 return.
- The Chargers’ line was already depleted, with Bobby Hart exiting with a groin/ankle injury, Mekhi Becton inactive, and Rashawn Slater out for the season, leading to Jamaree Salyer and Trey Pipkins III taking tackle snaps.
- Team performance drops without Alt: ESPN reports the Chargers are 4-0 when he plays the entire game and 2-3 when he doesn’t, with Herbert’s QBR and pass-block win rate falling significantly.
