A week away from a Thursday Night Football game against the Las Vegas Raiders, the injured Bolts team seems to be remaining that way.
Here is the most recent injury report for the Los Angeles Chargers:

Due to a heel injury he sustained against the Denver Broncos, Pro Bowl wide out Keenan Allen was unable to practice on either Monday or Tuesday. Meanwhile, receiver Josh Palmer looks to be headed toward an untimely return from injured reserve.
Injuries keep Mounting for Los Angeles Chargers
Tight ends Gerald Everett and Donald Parham Jr., who would both normally serve as important safety blankets for rookie quarterback Easton Stick, who is making his first career start, are two more crucial players that are injured. Due to their individual hip and shoulder problems, they have both been sidelined and may not be able to participate in the game.
The Bolts’ defensive injuries must significantly improve if they hope to maintain their competitiveness despite their quarterback problems. Defensive lineman Sebastian Joseph-Day and linebacker Kenneth Murray Jr., who serves as the team’s MIKE and calls defensive plays, have also been limited. These players round out the team’s standout members that we might not see in Vegas.
Another guy to watch out for is guard Zion Johnson. Although he hasn’t played much, he’s still an improvement over backup Jordan McFadden, and Stick will have an even tougher time starting because he is an inexperienced quarterback.
