Chargers Edge Khalil Mack is inactive for tonight's game against the Bengals. That's no shock after he missed all practices the past two weeks and managed to play just four snaps last week. Mack's absence can only help the playing time for Tuli Tulipulotu and Bud Dupree.

Chargers Edge Khalil Mack is questionable for the second straight week thanks to a groin injury that kept him out of practice once again. Mack missed all three practices last week before playing through a "questionable" tag last week. He made it through just 4 snaps in that game. Edge Joey Bosa, meanwhile, put in his first full practice since Week 3 on Friday and is off the final injury report for the first time since that week as well. He said Friday that they plan to increase his playing time from the 19-20 snaps of the past three games to "about 30, 30-plus."

Chargers Edge Joey Bosa left after the first defensive play Sunday against the Steelers. He returned later in the quarter but was gone again before the end of the quarter. The team initially called him questionable to return with a hip injury before ruling Bosa out for the game.

Chargers Edge Joey Bosa revealed to reporters Thursday that he broke his left hand during an Aug. 4 joint practice with the Rams and needed surgery, according to ESPN's Kris Rhim. Bosa returned to practice earlier this week for the first time since the injury, wearing a club on the repaired hand. Bosa said he won't miss any games but will sport the club for a while.

The Chargers have placed Edge Joey Bosa on IR for the foot injury that knocked him out of Sunday's game. That will keep Bosa out until at least Week 16, and he'll be difficult to trust in fantasy lineups in his first game back. We've already seen an active Bosa play less than 50% of the snaps in three other games before leaving Week 11 early. That all means you can go ahead and drop Bosa for another option in your redraft IDP league. The 28-year-old is probably still worth holding in dynasty ... but he's running out of value in that format as well.

Chargers Edge Joey Bosa is questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders. He entered each of the previous two games the same way and still played, albeit for limited snaps. But Bosa this week adds a toe injury to the hamstring that limited him the previous two. He missed practice all week and looks like a high-risk IDP bet even if active. Rookie Edge Tuli Tuipulotu, meanwhile, has garnered 77% playing time the past two games and delivered a sack in each. He racked up 4 QB hits in last Sunday's win over the Vikings. Tulipulotu looks like a good bet for similar playing time this week against a shaky Raiders O-line and probably backup QB Brian Hoyer. That makes the rookie an attractive play in Week 4 IDP lineups. We've moved him up our Week 4 DL rankings and Bosa down.
