The Los Angeles Chargers technically have a break on the Sunday of Week 8, yet aren’t actually getting a break from a little thing called the injury bug.

While the Chargers were off Sunday in the wake of Thursday night’s win over the Minnesota Vikings, the injury fallout from the triumph was only just becoming understood.

While the Chargers still await a Derwin James injury update as the star safety heads for MRI and return timeline updates, NFL reporters offered updates on a different member of the secondary on Sunday.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Still suffered an MCL sprain that could force him to miss “2-4 weeks” ahead of next week’s game against the Tennessee Titans.

One of two breakout fifth-round corners for the Chargers last year, Still is right there in the hunt as the team’s No. 1 alongside Donte Jackson.

With Still sidelined, Jackson, Cam Hart and Benjamin St-Juste will technically be the top three on the depth chart. Ja’Sir Taylor and Nikko Reed could get reps, too.

With James also hurt, Elijah Molden playing through injury, and Tony Jefferson also getting hurt last Thursday, all at the safety spot, the Chargers could elect to send Still to injured reserve. They have cornerbacks Isas Waxter and Myles Purchase on the practice squad.
