Chargers place 3 players on injured reserve, add 5 from practice squad
The Chargers announced a handful of roster moves ahead of their Week 3 matchup with the Carolina Panthers.
Los Angeles has placed defensive end Melvin Ingram, defensive tackle Justin Jones and linebacker Asmar Bilal on the injured reserve.
Ingram has been dealing with a knee injury. Jones has a shoulder issue, and Bilal has had a calf injury.
With Ingram out, Uchenna Nwosu will likely start at LEO while Jerry Tillery will get an uptick of snaps as the three-technique.
In correspondence, L.A. activated linebacker Malik Jefferson, guard Ryan Groy and defensive end Jesse Liemonier. They have also promoted running back Darius Bradwell and safety Jahleel Addae from the practice squad.
Ingram, Jones and Bilal are eligible to return in three weeks.
