Chargers catch break ahead of Week 8 matchup with Rams
The Chargers will face a hobbled Rams team in Week 8.
The Los Angeles Chargers prepare to face the Rams in their Week 8 matchup, with a bye granted to the Chargers in Week 7. The Bolts are coming into this game as significant underdogs, but they will be without their star player, edge rusher Myles Garrett. On Wednesday, Rams head coach Sean McVay revealed that Garrett would not practice this week, marking his seventh consecutive absence due to arthroscopic surgery on his left knee after Week 1.
Garrett is set to return to action when the Rams host the Commanders next Sunday. The matchup will see several key players sidelined for both teams. For the Chargers, Derwin James, Alec Ingold, Denzel Perryman, Trevor Penning, Rashawn Slater, Trey Pipkins III, and David Njoku are among those missing. Similarly, the Rams will be without Davante Adams, Terrance Ferguson, Kobie Turner, and Poona Ford.
Both the Chargers and Rams entered the season with high expectations, but their performances have been disappointing. The Chargers, in particular, have struggled more than the Rams, who started the season with strong Super Bowl odds but now sit at 3-4 and three games behind in their division.
