Chargers rookie right tackle Joe Alt may miss Los Angeles’ home game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday with a sprained MCL, ESPN reported Monday.
The fifth overall pick of this year’s NFL draft, Alt sustained the injury during the fourth quarter of the Chargers’ 20-10 loss at the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday.
Pittsburgh defensive tackle Cameron Heyward rolled up on Alt’s right leg during Los Angeles’ final possession of the game.
NFL Network reported Monday that Alt will not need surgery but will miss “some time.”
Alt’s injury came one quarter after Chargers left tackle Rashawn Slater exited with a pectoral injury. Slater’s status for Kansas City is unknown.
Justin Herbert’s status is also murky after the Los Angeles quarterback aggravated a high ankle sprain in the third quarter against the Steelers.
Herbert left the stadium in a walking boot, though Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters Monday that X-rays on the quarterback’s right ankle were negative.
Los Angeles star edge rusher Joey Bosa also exited Sunday’s loss after two plays as he continues to battle a hip injury. His status for Sunday is unknown.
The Chargers (2-1) have a bye following their game against the Chiefs (3-0).
