Latest Chargers star news for Week 11

The Los Angeles Chargers need star passer Khalil Mack at his best when the team takes on the Cincinnati Bengals in primetime in Week 11.

However, Mack only played a handful of snaps last week while dealing with a groin injury suffered the week before.

Here is a list of ongoing Mack injury updates before kickoff on Sunday night.

Khalil Mack injury update

• Update: Mack came clean about his injury situation after being given a “questionable” tag for the match. He was a DNP all week.

• Mack played just a handful of snaps during the team’s Week 10 win over the Tennessee Titans.

The path so far…

Mack limped off the field late in the Chargers’ 27-10 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 9, but dismissed any injury concerns. He subsequently missed practice all week before being declared questionable, then played about four snaps in the win over the Titans, raising concerns he may have suffered an injury setback.

What it means

The Chargers have been very quiet about Mack’s status. Some of last week’s behavior may have caused him to take it easy before playing a two-win team, but the very limited snaps during the game itself were concerning. In any case, exactly what he does in training this week will be something to keep a close eye on.
