Chargers List LT Joe Alt Doubtful With Ankle Sprain for Sunday vs. Commanders

Coach Jim Harbaugh said the team will evaluate him day to day without a decision on injured reserve.

Overview

  • Imaging confirmed a sprained right ankle for Joe Alt, who was carted off in the Week 4 loss after Kayvon Thibodeaux fell on his leg.
  • Harbaugh labeled Alt doubtful for Sunday against Washington and said his status will be managed day to day with no timetable set.
  • Alt did not practice Wednesday, according to the Chargers’ first Week 5 injury report.
  • With Alt out versus the Giants, Justin Herbert was hit 13 times and sacked twice, and replacement Austin Deculus allowed six pressures in 37 pass‑blocking snaps, per TruMedia and Next Gen Stats.
  • Los Angeles added depth by signing Foster Sarell to the active roster and Bobby Hart to the practice squad as the line copes with Rashawn Slater’s season-ending injury and Mekhi Becton’s recent concussion absence.
