The Los Angeles Chargers have placed fullback Alec Ingold on injured reserve, which will sideline him for at least four games. Ingold has faced challenges during his first season with the Chargers, struggling with missed assignments and failing to deliver on key blocks. This decision comes after fellow fullback Scott Matlock returned from IR, indicating the Chargers may feel more secure with Matlock leading the offense.
