Thursday Injury Report Update
Wide receiver Keenan Allen, edge rusher Khalil Mack, center Bradley Bozeman, and defensive tackle Teair Tart all returned Thursday as full participants following their veteran rest days. Two other veterans in edge rusher Bud Dupree and linebacker Denzel Perryman were not on Wednesday’s injury report but popped up on Thursday’s report with veteran rest days of their own.
Two players who appeared on Thursday’s report with a real injury were safety Elijah Molden (knee) and fullback Scott Matlock (chest).
Those will be two names to watch with one more practice to go before the team travels to Jacksonville.
Aside from those players, there were no players that progressed in their status. Everyone else who practiced in a limited fashion on Wednesday was once again limited on Thursday.
As prep for Week 11 begins, the Chargers had the most amount of veterans take rest days to begin the week of practice. Normally reserved for the likes of Keenan Allen and Khalil Mack, those two players were joined by defensive tackle Teair Tart and center Bradley Bozeman. Fortunately, the veteran’s with the day off were the only DNP players on the report.
After a brief scare and an early exit for tight end Oronde Gadsden against the Steelers, he logged a full practice on Wednesday despite a knee injury.
Offensive tackle Bobby Hart — who has missed most of the past two games with a knee injury, started this week by logging a limited practice. He was joined by linebacker Daiyan Henley (ankle), wide receiver Quentin Johnston (shin), wide receiver Ladd McConkey (ankle), and cornerback Tarheeb Still (knee) as limited participants.
Still has missed the past two games with his injury, so a limited session to begin the week is a positive step forward to him returning this week. At the same time, I wouldn’t be surprised if the team sided with caution to keep him out just before the Week 12 bye.
