The Chargers’ latest injury report in Week 13 shows that winning in Atlanta won’t be easy

The Chargers’ latest injury report in Week 13 shows that winning in Atlanta won’t be easy

After a tough loss on Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens, the Los Angeles Chargers They need to recover to compete in a fiercely competitive AFC playoff race. But they will have to beat a hungry Falcons team without some key players.

The Falcons will also have something to prove. We haven’t seen them since they were beaten 38-6 by the Denver Broncos in Week 11. Then they had their bye week and with all that time to regroup and simmer over this big loss, they will look to get ahead of the Chargers early.

This is a tough situation for Jim Harbaugh’s team and it’s a game that will test the mettle of this Chargers team.

Chargers final injury report for Week 13

player position Injury Game status
JK Dobbins RB Knee Out of
Alohi Gilman S Paralyze Out of
Cam Hart CB ankle Out of
Denzel Perryman L.B bar Out of
Daiyan Henley L.B Calf Questionable

Without Dobbins, the Chargers will rely more on Gus Edwards and expect rookie Kimani Vidal to get some attention as well.

If both Perryman and Henley are unable to go, the Chargers could have trouble dealing with the rushing attack of Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier. These are the Chargers’ starting center fielders, so it would be a big deal if they were both out, including Henley, who leads the team in tackles by a wide margin.

Atlanta Falcons Week 13 Injury Report

For the Falcons, they come into this game relatively healthy. Cornerback Mike Hughes will miss the game, but the only other note on the team’s injury report is the fact that kicker Younghoe Koo, who began his career with the Chargers, is listed as questionable with a hip injury.

The team signed veteran Riley Patterson to the practice squad on Friday to get insurance in case he can’t play.
