For the week 5 game @ the Oakland Raiders here are the Chargers inactives:
Our #SDvsOAK inactives
— #SDvsOAK (@Chargers) October 9, 2016
LB Denzel Perryman
RT Joe Barksdale
TE Asante Cleveland
CB Brandon Flowers
S Jahleel Addae
LB Nick Dzubnar
C M Tuerk
Well that isn’t encouraging. After losing Manti Te’o for the year, Denzel Perryman is now also out this week. 4th and 5th round picks Joshua Perry and Jatavis Brown will be your starting linebackers, with only 1 reserve in Korey Toomer, a former Raider, who has been with the team for about 2 weeks.
Also less than ideal is Joe Barksdale being out with the Raiders pass rushers Bruce Irvin and Kahlil Mack bringing the heat whoever is at RT is in for a long day. I assume the team starts with Chris Hairston at RT, which is not the right choice if you ask me but having to fend off Mack and/or Irvin, we might see some rotation there.
None of the other inactives are all that surprising, but it sure is great to not see Joey Bosa on that list.
As for the Raiders, here are their inactive players:
QB Connor Cook
S Nate Allen
RB Taiwan Jones
RB Latavius Murray
T Menelik Watson
OL Matt McCants
TE Clive Walford
