Week 5 Inactives Update: Mekhi Becton Set to Play as Chargers Face Commanders

The Los Angeles Chargers have released their list of inactive players ahead of their Week 5 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The game is set to kick off at 1:25 p.m. (PT) at SoFi Stadium, with the Chargers favored to win according to the latest betting odds.

Key Absences Impact Chargers’ Strategy

Among the noteworthy absences for the Chargers are left tackle Joe Alt and wide receiver Derius Davis, both sidelined due to injuries sustained earlier this week. Neither player participated in practice sessions, as Alt nurses an ankle injury and Davis deals with a knee issue.

Injuries and Player Updates

Though some players will miss the showdown, others have been cleared to play. Both right guard Mekhi Becton and tight end Tucker Fisk, previously listed as questionable, are available for the game. Becton had been dealing with concussion protocols, while Fisk managed a toe injury.

However, tight end Will Dissly will not take the field, as he remains inactive with a knee injury despite initial hopes that he might play.

List of Inactive Players for Sunday’s Game

The following players will not suit up against the Commanders:

  • WR Derius Davis
  • S RJ Mickens
  • CB Nikko Reed
  • OLB Kyle Kennard
  • OT Joe Alt
  • TE Will Dissly
  • DT Naquan Jones
