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.
...kinda think Brenden Rice maybe should be active if Palmer isn't close to 100%, even w/ Roman's low usage of 11 personnel
