Los Angeles Chargers Week 2 inactives: High-profile rookies still out image

The Los Angeles Chargers face their first road test of the 2024 season on Sunday and every player outside of Alohi Gilman who was listed on this week's injury report is good to go. Tony Jefferson has been elevated from the practice squad to help offset the loss of Gilman, and the following players have been made inactive for this game.

WR Brenden Rice
DT Justin Eboigbe
S Alohi Gilman
QB Taylor Heinicke
OG Jordan McFadden
RB Kimani Vidal
CB Tarheeb Still

Chargers fans will have to wait for the debuts of Brenden Rice, Kimani Vidal and Tarheeb Still, all members of this year's draft class. With Taylor Heinicke inactive, Easton Stick continues to hold onto his spot as the team's backup quarterback, which continues to be a surprise. 

If Joshua Palmer was limited in practice all week, it's also somewhat confusing to see Rice as a healthy scratch again.

 

The Carolina Panthers' season got off to a rocky start, following a 47-10 loss against the New Orleans Saints in Week 1. They have made the following players inactive for Week 2.

CB Shemar Bartholomew
RB Mike Boone
OG Jarrett Kingston
C Andrew Raym
CB Chau Smith-Wade
TE Messiah Swinson

The game will kick off at 10:00 am PT and will be televised on CBS.
