Chargers' Joe Alt Injury Clouds Left Tackle Spot Ahead of Commanders Clash
The Los Angeles Chargers face uncertainty at the left tackle position ahead of Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. Joe Alt, the starting left tackle, is doubtful due to a sprained right ankle sustained last week against the New York Giants.
Alt was carted off the field during the game and his status for Sunday's matchup remains uncertain. Head coach Jim Harbaugh has not clarified whether Alt's injury could result in a stint on injured reserve.
In preparation, the Chargers have signed offensive tackle Foster Sarell to the active roster and Bobby Hart to the practice squad. Austin Deculus is currently listed as the backup left tackle on the team's online depth chart, although there is no public information on who would replace Alt as the backup if necessary.
With Joe Alt's status in doubt, the Chargers have bolstered their offensive tackle depth with the signings of Foster Sarell and Bobby Hart. Austin Deculus is currently the backup, but the team's plans for replacing Alt, if needed, remain unclear as they prepare to face the Washington Commanders this weekend.
