#Chargers Justin Herbert - High ankle re-aggravation. Walking w/full weight = no fracture. Lean towards playing Wk 4. MRI Mon
#Chargers Joey Bosa - Lean towards missing Wk 4. Re-aggravation often worse than initial injury
#Chargers Rashawn Slater - Pec for OL = heavily involved in blocking. High risk of missing Wk 4
#Chargers Joe Alt - Ankle. O-line often able to play the next wk but severity varies. Prob MRI pending

That's it. Especially if Herbert is out.
And that is really problematic for the Chargers, because the Chiefs generate a ton of pressure without their DE group playing super well. We're going to generate a ton of heat, and Easton Stick will melt in the face of it.
I guess I do like Hayden Hurst at TE, but now that Bolton seems to be playing better, I'm not sweating TEs as much.
On offense, all eyes will be on Wanya Morris. Can he hold up against Khalil Mack. Will Reid trust him on an island.
Kelce is likely to be erased this week by Derwin James, so it'll be interesting to see how healthy Rice is throughout the week. The Chargers have an okay secondary, but they don't have a ton of answers for Rice. The progressive move by the Chargers would be to put Derwin on Rice, but you know Derwin just has to have Kelce.
I have really loved the Chiefs run game this year, and this would be a good game, with Easton Stick melting down, to just see how far the run game can get you. Put a ton of the run game on tape, and see if you can get teams down the schedule to adjust for it, allowing Reid to counter.
The Chargers have a good defense, but the Chiefs should be able to put up 20+ on them. And there's no way Easton Stick can do that on us.
I'd be shocked if we don't sweep the Chargers this year.
Chiefs 23, Chargers 9.
He will play against us. Jim is an arrogant prick and wants to beat us bad.

Herbert playing on a bad ankle doesn't give them a better chance to win though.
