Joe Alt, a right tackle for the Los Angeles Chargers, missed Wednesday's practice due to a neck issue. He is not expected to play Sunday. Alt was one of eight Chargers who did not participate in the session. The item comes from Pro Football Talk's NFL coverage, where team practice reports and injury updates are regularly tracked. For the Chargers, his potential absence leaves an offensive line question heading into the weekend.
The possible loss of a starting right tackle could affect the Chargers' protection and rushing plans, which may influence how the team performs Sunday. Coaches and teammates could face adjustments, while fans and fantasy managers may see changed expectations. If the neck issue keeps Alt out longer, it may also draw attention to how NFL teams manage player health and availability during a demanding season.
