The Los Angeles Chargers will once again be without the services of Joey Bosa due to a hip injury, but aside from that, the team couldn't have asked for a much better scenario in the injury department coming into Week 6 against the Denver Broncos.
The Chargers were saddled with numerous injuries to key players, but the only starters who are going to be out of action are Bosa and Nickelback Ja'Sir Taylor.

That means the team will have Rashawn Slater at left tackle and starting cornerback Kristian Fulton. Slater, who has been dealing with a pectoral injury, was not expected to play in this game by many.
The Broncos will be without two of their starting offensive linemen as Alex Forsyth will start at center in place of Luke Wattenberg and Matt Peart slides in at right tackle for Alex Palczewski, who was already filling in for Mike McGlinchey. That could give the Chargers' defensive front a big advantage.
In addition, starting wide receiver Josh Reynolds will also be out for the Broncos.
The game will kick off at 1:05 pm PT and it will be televised on CBS.
