Sunday Night Football: Khalil Mack inactive for Chargers-Bengals
The Chargers will be without Khalil Mack for their Sunday night game with the Bengals.
Mack is inactive due to the groin injury that sidelined him for all three days of practice. He was listed as questionable for the game on Friday.
In nine games this season, Mack has recorded 4.5 sacks with five tackles for loss and eight QB hits. He has also recorded five passes defended, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.
Although fellow starting edge rusher Joey Bosa was limited for some practices this week, he was not injured and is active for the game.
On the other hand, Cincinnati will be without offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. or have defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins. Brown is nursing knee and fibula injuries, while Rankins is ill.
But the Bengals will have Tee Higgins back for the first time since the Oct. 20 win over Cleveland as he recovers from his quad injury.
Receiver Charlie Jones, receiver Isaiah Williams, safety Diajahn Anthony, linebacker Joe Bachie and tight end Tanner McLachlan are also inactive for Cincinnati.
Los Angeles’ remaining inactives are quarterback Easton Stick, receiver DJ Chark Jr., running back Kimani Vidal, offensive lineman Brenden Jaimes, offensive lineman Jordan McFadden and tight end Hayden Hurst.
