Chargers Injury Report: Bolts Release Inactive List for Showdown With Broncos

The Los Angeles Chargers are set to take on the Denver Broncos at home at Sofi Stadium. Though there is plenty of the season left, the game feels like a playoff eliminator. Both teams are battling it out for a better playoff spot, and both are on the outside looking in.

The Bolts have been dealing with injuries on both sides of the ball all season, and today will be no different. The team just lost Zack Bailey to IR, as he is dealing with a back injury. Now, they will be without many key players.

JT Woods is out again, as the safety has been dealing with some sort of medical issue that has been listed as an illness.

Joining Wood on the defense side of the ball is Deane Leonard, who is dealing with an ankle injury. Linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga and defensive lineman Otito Ogbonnia have also been ruled out.

The Chargers need a big win here if they are to stay in the playoff conversation for the AFC. Losing both Woods and Leonard is not going to make things easier on the secondary, who will need to silence the passing attack of Russel Wilson and Cortland Sutton.

The Bolts' defense has been stellar recently, and the hope is that Khalil Mack can continue his dominant year by racking up more than one sack on Wilson.

Kickoff is set for 1:25 p.m. PST.
