Los Angeles Chargers Inactive Players: 2 Pass Catchers, 2 DBs Ruled OUT vs Broncos

Is Jim Harbaugh The Real Life Ted Lasso?

WR – KeAndre Lambert-Smith

TE – Will Dissly

DT – Otito Ogbonnia

LB – Emany Johnson

CB – Cam Hart

S – Elijah Molden

The biggest loss here is CB Cam Hart (6’2″ 207 lbs), who has the size matchup that defensive coordinator Jessie Minter likes when in man coverage. Backup CB Benjamin St-Juste (6’3″ 200 lbs) will have to step up, as the only other guy in the secondary with a similar size profile, against Broncos WR1 Courtland Sutton (6’4″ 216 lbs).

The most surprising inactive player on the list is rookie 5th-round WR KeAndre Lambert-Smith, who’s played in the previous two games thus far. KLS has looked great throughout training camp and the preseason, making this decision a bit surprising.

It likely indicates the offensive coordinator Greg Roman wants to take a more run-heavy approach against a stingy Denver defense that excels in the secondary.
