Chargers place FB Alec Ingold on IR

The Los Angeles Chargers have placed fullback Alec Ingold on injured reserve, a move that comes just one week after Scott Matlock returned from his own IR stint after missing the team’s first four games. Ingold, who joined the Chargers alongside head coach Mike McDaniel after leaving Miami, has faced struggles in his debut season, marked by missed assignments and ineffective blocking in five games.

His inconsistency appears to have paved the way for Matlock, who made an immediate impact in his return, contributing to a touchdown run and excelling in protective blocking schemes. The decision leaves McDaniel adjusting to a new fullback dynamic, with Matlock now set to take on a more prominent role in the offense moving forward.
