The Los Angeles Chargers are gearing up for their Week 8 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium.
While most players are preparing, some team members are on the inactive list.
CB Rodney Shelley (hamstring), CB Donte Jackson (hamstring), CB Deane Leonard (concussion), LG Kayode Awosika (fibula), WR Brenen Thompson (quad/hamstring) and WR Theo Wease (healthy scratch) are all out for the Chargers against the Rams.
Both Shelley and Jackson are questionable on the injury report with hamstring injuries, but neither is scheduled to play against the Rams. The team elevated Kaiir Elam from the practice squad, so he should have a bigger role in today’s game.
Derwin James is also out, but he is not on the inactive list, as he was moved to injured reserve this weekend. He has to miss at least four games for the Chargers.
Meanwhile, inactives for the Rams are QB Ty Simpson (emergency 3rd QB), LS Joe Cardona, OL Bill Murray, OL Keagen Trost, TE Colby Parkinson and OLB Desjuan Johnson.
The Rams are getting star cornerback Trent McDuffie back after missing the last two games with a groin injury. That should make the Chargers’ job more difficult as they try to win their first game of the season.
Kickoff between the Chargers and Rams is set for 1:05 pm PT inside SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. Fans can watch the game on FOX or stream it on the FOX One app.
