Another week, another massive injury report for the Los Angeles Chargers—this time as Jim Harbaugh and Co. get ready to play the New Orleans Saints in Week 8. 

As expected, star edge defender Joey Bosa was a staple of the injury report all week. So was rookie breakout wideout Ladd McConkey. Ditto for wideout DJ Chark and pretty much every weapon on Justin Herbert’s offense. 

Here’s a quick look at the final injury report ahead of kickoff. 

Chargers injury report

WR Quentin Johnston: Doubtful 

WR Derius Davis: Doubtful 

Joey Bosa: Questionable

Will Dissly: Questionable

Hayden Hurst: Questionable

Ladd McConkey: Questionable

Denzel Perryman: Questionable

DJ Chark: Questionable

Saints injury report

QB Derek Carr: Doubtful 

G Nick Saldiveri: Out

WR Cedrick Wilson Jr.: Out

Joey Bosa injury update

Bosa went limited for most of the week after seemingly regressing the week prior, with Harbaugh revealing that he was "still working through something." He’s now questionable but will play, albeit likely on a snap count. 

DJ Chark injury update

The Chargers seemed ready to get Chark back from injured reserve last week, only for him to apparently be dealing with a new injury. He’s now questionable going into the game.

Ladd McConkey injury update

McConkey suffered a head injury in Week 6, returned, then appeared on the Week 7 report with a hip injury and played through that to underwhleming results in the loss to the Arizona Cardinals. This week, he spent the first two days of practice not participating at all due to the hip injury. Like Chark, McConkey is questionable.
