Chargers Open Khalil Mack Return Window With Joe Alt, Trey Pipkins Still Out
Los Angeles faces continued protection strain with backup tackles after a sack-free outing last week.
Overview
- Head coach Jim Harbaugh said Joe Alt (ankle) and Trey Pipkins (knee) did not practice Wednesday.
- The Chargers opened Khalil Mack’s 21-day return window from injured reserve, and he practiced in some capacity.
- Mack has been out since a Week 2 elbow injury, and designation to return does not guarantee he plays this week.
- Alt has missed two games with a Week 4 high-ankle sprain and is on track to sit another week.
- With starters sidelined last week, Austin Deculus and Bobby Hart combined for five pressures and two QB hits but no sacks, while Justin Herbert has been sacked 18 times this season.
