Najee Harris said he is expects to play against the Chiefs on Friday in Brazil: “I’m ramping up to it.” Did not want to get into any details on what happened in the fireworks accident. Said his vision has not been affected and called the eye injury “superficial.”

The Joe Alt effect. Blocks two guys after a breakdown from the interior. Gives Justin Herbert a chance, and that is all the #Chargers need for an explosive play to Ladd McConkey.

The NFL referenced this hit in the 2Q yesterday. Perryman was flagged for unnecessary roughness. Perryman can appeal the suspension.

Looks like another day off from throwing for #Chargers QB Justin Herbert. Herbert said last week that he would be taking a day off weekly at least through the spring. Rest for the arm and extra focus on footwork.
