Chargers DE Joey Bosa, RB Justin Jackson out vs. Dolphins

The Los Angeles Chargers will be light on both sides of the football for Sunday's game at the Miami Dolphins. 

As noted by an ESPN piece, two-time Pro Bowl defensive end Joey Bosa and running back Justin Jackson will remain sidelined through the weekend. 

Bosa remains in the concussion protocol that he entered during last Sunday's 31-26 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Jackson injured his knee that same afternoon and won't be available for Week 10. 

Bosa, 25, leads the Chargers with 4.5 sacks, 8.5 tackles for loss and 31 sack yards. 

Jackson, meanwhile, shifted up the depth chart after Austin Ekeler hurt his hamstring in a Week 4 defeat at the hands of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In Ekeler's absence, Jackson tallied 71 rushing yards against the New Orleans Saints on Oct. 12 and then accumulated 89 yards versus the Denver Broncos on Nov. 1. He has 15 catches for 131 yards on the campaign. 

Kalen Ballage could emerge as a sleeper choice for fantasy football owners. The 24-year-old discarded by the New York Jets in early October rushed for 69 yards with a touchdown on 15 attempts against the Raiders last Sunday.
