Chargers release injury report ahead of season opener

The Los Angeles Chargers held their second practice of the week on Thursday ahead of their season opener. Khalil Mack returned to full participation after a rest day, while R.J. Mickens also moved to full activity following an ankle injury. Keaton Mitchell, Brenen Thompson, and Tuli Tuipulotu remained limited participants for the second consecutive day due to various ailments. Cornerback Deane Leonard sat out his second straight practice with an abdominal injury. While the team remains cautious with those listed as limited, the personnel outlook for Sunday depends on their continued recovery. If Leonard remains unavailable for the matchup, Nikko Reed could see increased playing time to support defensive and special teams units.
