US EditionChargers' Nightmare Continues: Joe Alt Suffers Another Ankle Injury
Joe Alt's injury adds to Chargers' offensive line challenges after Rashawn Slater's season-ending injury, with Alt previously missing three games due to a sprained ankle.
- On Sunday, Los Angeles Chargers left tackle Joe Alt was carted off in the second quarter at Nissan Stadium after failing to get up following a long incompletion during Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans.
- Following an incomplete pass, Tennessee Titans defensive end Sebastian Joseph-Day tumbled into the back of Los Angeles Chargers left tackle Joe Alt's right leg, striking him from behind.
- Alt had missed three games with a sprained right ankle and returned Oct. 23, and Jamaree Salyer replaced him with the Chargers allowing a sack on the next play.
- Hart's early exit combined with Alt's injury increases urgency at the trade deadline as two more injuries to Justin Herbert's offensive line now almost demand Chargers action by Tuesday.
- Amid an already thin line, the Chargers listed Joe Alt as questionable to return after the play, continuing a shortage since Rashawn Slater's season-ending knee injury.
