The Los Angeles Chargers continue to get bit by the injury bug early in the season.
Chargers second-year pro Joe Alt has been carted off the field in the first quarter against the New York Giants, which is a bad sign that he may have suffered a significant injury.
Alt, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, was able to limp off the field, but he is currently in the locker room getting evaluated for his ankle injury.
The team is confirming that he is questionable to return for the game against the Giants.
Alt was the right tackle for the Chargers last season, but he moved to left tackle when Rashawn Slater tore his patellar tendon in training camp last month. Considering the fact that Slater is out for the year, the Chargers hope Alt is able to return from his injury as soon as possible.
If not, the Chargers will be faced with even more depth issues on the offensive line.
