Injury roundup: Chargers WR Jalen Guyton (groin), TE Gerald Everett (chest) expected to play vs. Ravens
The Los Angeles Chargers, who have lost two straight games against the Packers, are getting back two weapons that they were forced to play without last week. Due to a groin ailment, wide receiver Jalen Guyton is classified as questionable; however, sources told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport that Guyton is expected to play in his third game of the season.
Guy Tonight was placed on the physically unable to perform list for the Chargers’ opening seven games in 2023, although he did show some developing chemistry with quarterback Justin Herbert by putting up four receptions for 41 yards and a touchdown in the team’s Week 10 matchup against the Lions. Despite being limited in practice during the week coming up to Sunday Night Football due to the groin ailment that forced him to miss Week 11, he should be there and will be a welcome sight for Herbert.
Gerald Everett, who was also given a dubious categorization and was out for the entire week owing to a chest ailment, will be joining him. According to Rapoport, the seventh-year tight end is anticipated to depart. Everett, who has 21 catches for 167 yards and two touchdowns this season, will reunite with 6-foot-8 Donald Parham in an attempt to disrupt Baltimore’s secondary’s matchups at the tight end position. Guyton and Everett’s probable participation is essential to Los Angeles’ offensive diversification and to relieve playmakers Keenan Allen and Austin Ekeler of some of their workload.
On Sunday night at 8:20 p.m. ET, the Chargers (4-6) will take on the Ravens (8-3) in an attempt to start saving their season. In addition, we are monitoring the following injuries before Sunday’s Week 12 games: Marquise Brown, the wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals, was listed as questionable due to a heel injury, but according to a source, Rapoport stated that Brown is hoping to play on Sunday against the Rams. Brown is formally engaged in activities.
Odell Beckham (shoulder) and Zay Flowers (hip) of the Baltimore Ravens are anticipated to play against the Chargers on Sunday night, according to reports from Rapoport and NFL Network Insider Mike Garafolo. Like Beckham and Flowers, OT Ronnie Stanley (knee), who is listed as questionable, is also anticipated to play, according to Rapoport and Garafolo. According to Rapoport, running back Dameon Pierce of the Houston Texans (ankle) is anticipated to play against the Jaguars on Sunday. Despite missing Houston’s last three games, Pierce—who is rated as questionable—practiced fully all week. In the game against Jacksonville, Pierce was declared active. Pierce is formally engaged in activities.
Despite being rated as doubtful due to a knee injury, Las Vegas Raiders pass rusher Maxx Crosby is trying to play against the Chiefs on Sunday, and there’s a good chance he does, according to Rapoport and Garafolo. Crosby is formally operational. Dexter Lawrence, a defensive tackle for the New York Giants (hamstring; uncertain), will not play, according to Garafolo. Officially, Lawrence is not working. Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for the New York Jets, might make a comeback to practice next week, according Ian Rapoport on NFL GameDay Morning. According to Rapoport, Rodgers had been hoping for that schedule, but it’s possible that he’ll return to practice the following week. Rodgers remains focused on maybe playing again on December 24 against the Commanders for New York. Right tackle for the Philadelphia Eagles Lane Johnson has been
