Chargers Place Joe Alt on Injured Reserve Requiring Ankle Surgery

The Los Angeles Chargers have placed left tackle Joe Alt on injured reserve due to a high right ankle injury that will require surgery. Alt sustained the injury in Sunday's victory over the Tennessee Titans when defensive tackle Sebastian Joseph-Day fell on his ankle. This move comes amidst significant offensive line injuries for the Chargers, who recently traded for Trevor Penning. Alt was filling in for Rashawn Slater, who ruptured his patellar tendon, while Mekhi Becton and Bobby Hart also missed time with knee and ankle issues.
