Chargers' Joe Alt will return on TNF in Week 8 after missing three games with an ankle injury
"Los Angeles is 4-3 this season, but is 1-3 in their last four games. They started the season 3-0. In their last four contests, the team has been without LT Joe Alt. He suffered an ankle injury in a Week 4 loss to the Giants. On Wednesday, NFL insider Mike Garafolo reported that Joe Alt is questionable to play in Week 8 vs. the Vikings. However, Alt said that he plans on making his return after a three-game absence."
"With the fifth overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, the Chargers selected tackle Joe Alt out of Notre Dame. As a rookie, he started 16 games for Los Angeles and finished 7th in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting. Left tackle Rashawn Slater suffered a torn patellar tendon during training camp. He'll unfortunately miss the entire 2025 season. That's why second-year pro Joe Alt was starting at LT this season."
Joe Alt, the Chargers' 2024 first-round pick, is projected to return after missing three games with an ankle injury sustained in Week 4 against the Giants. Alt started 16 games as a rookie and finished seventh in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting. Left tackle Rashawn Slater suffered a torn patellar tendon in training camp and will miss the 2025 season, which elevated Alt to the starting left tackle role. The Chargers went 1-2 in games without Alt and enter Week 8 at 4-3 overall. Alt is listed questionable but says he plans to play Thursday night against the Vikings, which would boost the offense.
