The Chargers released their initial injury report on Wednesday ahead of their Week 1 game against the Cardinals. EDGE Khalil Mack and CB Deane Leonard were the only two players who did not participate in practice. Mack was sidelined for rest, while Leonard is managing an abdominal injury. Several other players were listed as limited participants, including S RJ Mickens with an ankle issue, RB Keaton Mitchell with a hamstring injury, and both WR Brenen Thompson and EDGE Tuli Tuipulotu with hip injuries. Mitchell participated in a limited capacity, which follows a period of missed practices due to an undisclosed issue. Despite the injuries, head coach Jim Harbaugh stated he expects offensive tackle Rashawn Slater to be available to play on Sunday.
