Chargers’ Alt Carted Off Field with Ankle Injury

Nashville,⁤ Tenn. – Teh Los Angeles Chargers suffered a blow to their offensive line during Sunday’s⁣ game against the Tennessee Titans when⁤ left tackle ​Joe Alt sustained a right ankle injury late​ in the second quarter. ⁤Alt⁣ was carted off​ the field, and the team initially⁤ listed⁤ him as ‌questionable to ⁣return as of⁢ 4:49 PM Central‍ Time on​ november 26, 2023.

This isn’t the first ‌time alt has battled ⁤an‌ ankle issue‍ this season. He⁣ previously missed three games⁣ with a sprained right ankle,‌ returning to ‌action on October⁢ 23rd during the⁤ Chargers’ victory over the ⁤Minnesota Vikings. The injury occurred after‌ an incomplete pass attempt by quarterback Justin​ Herbert.

With Alt sidelined, ‌Jamaree Salyer stepped in at left tackle. Unfortunately, the offensive line struggled instantly after ​the​ change, conceding a second sack on ​the very next play.The situation⁣ was⁤ further‌ complex ‌by an⁣ earlier injury ⁣to right tackle Bobby Hart, who exited the game in the first quarter ⁢with a groin injury.

The Chargers’ offensive ⁤line depth is ​now being ‌severely tested. Losing both starting tackles presents⁤ a significant challenge for protecting Herbert and establishing a consistent running game. ⁣The team’s ability to overcome these ⁣injuries will be crucial as they⁢ navigate ⁢the remainder of the ​season.
