The Buffalo Bills will host the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, September 24. The Chargers are significantly impacted by injuries, particularly at tight end, with David Njoku and Charlie Kolar placed on Injured Reserve. This leaves Oronde Gadsden II as the only active tight end, while the team may consider promoting Patrick Herbert from the practice squad. Additionally, the Chargers might be without starting LG Kayode Awosika and DT Dalvin Tomlinson. The Bills are monitoring DJ Moore's recovery from an AC joint sprain ahead of the game.
