Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert faces challenges with a reorganized offensive line as he deals with a high right ankle sprain. The team is missing both starting offensive tackles, Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt, due to injuries, which complicates Herbert's situation further.

Trey Pipkins has moved to right tackle, while Sam Mustipher steps in at right guard. Jamaree Salyer will start at left tackle, with the usual center and left guard remaining unchanged. The Chargers also miss linebacker Joey Bosa and safety Derwin James, and they have struggled against the Kansas City Chiefs, losing five consecutive matchups.
