Two weeks in the past, this matchup appeared as if it could possibly be a chance for the Chargers to make a significant divisional assertion. Now it’s nearly survival.
With accidents affecting 4 key starters and a one-game suspension to star security Derwin James Jr., the Chargers (2-1) are hoping to at the least limp into the off week with out including anybody else to the damage report.
Quarterback Justin Herbert will attempt to robust out a high-ankle sprain behind an offensive line that is likely to be with out beginning tackles Rashawn Slater (pectoral) and Joe Alt (knee). Outdoors linebacker Joey Bosa is nursing a hip damage that restricted him to only two snaps in opposition to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Chiefs tight finish Travis Kelce has had a quiet begin to the season with eight catches for 69 yards and no touchdowns whereas the Chiefs (3-0) have struggled to transform within the purple zone, however the All-Professional has a historical past of terrorizing the Chargers. He averaged 105.8 yards receiving within the final eight video games in opposition to the Chargers, with eight touchdowns. The Chiefs have gained 5 in a row in opposition to their AFC West rivals, with 4 coming by one-possession scores.
