Los Angeles Chargers outside linebacker Khalil Mack suffered an injury to his left elbow during the Week 2 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. However, a source confirmed that the injury is not serious enough to end the season.<\/p>\n
Mack was injured while attempting a tackle in the first quarter. His left hand got trapped between Chargers linebacker Troy Dye and Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker, leading to an awkward position of his elbow.<\/p>\n
After the play, Mack left the field clutching his left hand and showing signs of pain. Subsequently, he went to the locker room.<\/p>\n
In the second quarter, Mack returned to the Chargers’ bench with his elbow bandaged and in a sling. Despite the injury, he managed a sack and a tackle in the game.<\/p>\n
Mack, who played his first four seasons of his career with the Raiders, has 12.5 career sacks against Las Vegas, the most for any player against a single opponent since 2021.<\/p>\n
The 34-year-old player signed a one-year, $18 million contract in March, opting to return to Los Angeles despite considering retirement after the 2024 season.<\/p>\n
With Mack absent, outside linebacker Caleb Murphy had more playing time, participating in 31 defensive plays and recording a quarterback pressure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
