Overview

• Kickoff is Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at Hard Rock Stadium, with the game on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
• Sportsbooks list the Chargers as 4 to 4.5-point favorites with a total around 43.5 points.
• Both teams carry lengthy injury lists: the Chargers are without OT Joe Alt, OT Trey Pipkins III, DL Da'Shawn Hand and WR Derius Davis, with LT Rashawn Slater and RB Omarion Hampton on IR, while the Dolphins have Tyreek Hill and several starters on IR and ruled out LB Tyrel Dodson and DB Elijah Campbell.
• Tua Tagovailoa dealt with hip and thumb issues during the week but is expected to play, setting up another meeting with Justin Herbert.
• After back-to-back losses marked by 24 combined penalties, the Chargers stress cutting operational mistakes as they look to exploit Miami’s league-worst run defense despite their own depleted backfield.
