Edwards has been dealing with an ankle injury that led to his being placed on injured reserve on Oct. 12. After sitting out for multiple games, he will finally rejoin his teammates on the offense. J.K. Dobbins has emerged as the lead back, but Edwards can now add some firepower as a rotational piece.
Bosa has been in and out of the injury report throughout the 2024 season. He has been dealing with a nagging hip injury that kept him out of Week 4. After that, he continued to have doubtful and questionable statuses every week.
Though Bosa continues to remain a question mark every week, he will suit up against the Tennessee Titans.
Mack is not often hurt, but he has also been dealing with a significant ailment. Mack was held out of practice all week with a significant groin injury. Despite the injury, he is set to also suit up.
When both Mack and Bosa are on the field together, the Chargers defense is quite formidable.
Mack has 4.5 sacks on the season, and Bosa has two sacks. The hope is that Bosa can remain healthy and stay in Sunday’s game along with not missing additional time due to his hip.
The Chargers are currently 5-3 on the season and are looking to secure their sixth win of the season. They also need a big win to stay ahead of the third place in the AFC West. The Chiefs are in the lead with an 8-0 record, but are staring down the reality of being beaten by the Broncos on Sunday.
At the time of this writing, the Chiefs are losing to the Broncos 14-10. Should the Broncos win, they will be 6-4 on the season. However, the Chargers beating the Titans will place them at 6-3.
The Chargers have been a surprise under the leadership of Jim Harbaugh. His culture-changing ways have been evident and Los Angeles has the makings of a playoff contender.
Even with injuries, the Chargers have been competitive throughout 2024. With Bosa, Mack, and Edwards also suiting up, the team has a much better chance to take down the Titans.
