Winless Chargers eager to play spoiler vs. Rams with healthier roster

The winless Chargers are heading into their upcoming matchup against the Rams with a bolstered lineup following a bye week. Key offensive contributors Ladd McConkey, Tre’ Harris, and Joe Alt are cleared to return to action, providing a much-needed boost for an offense that has struggled to generate points and protect Justin Herbert.

Despite these additions, the team remains without safety Derwin James Jr., who continues to recover from a hamstring injury, and several other sidelined players including Brenen Thompson, Rashawn Slater, and Kayode Awosika. Defensive coordinator Chris O’Leary is emphasizing a collective team effort to compensate for James's absence as the squad looks to secure their first victory of the season.
