Chargers LB Kenneth Murray Injured During Practice The Chargers linebacker went down during drills. Fernando Ramirez Oct 2, 2021 The Chargers were going through individual drills on Saturday with their Monday night matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders on the horizon. Linebacker Kenneth Murray was going through an interception drill when he fell awkwardly. He yelled out, and trainers rushed over to tend to him. The linebacker had his hands on his head the whole time while they looked at his leg. The trainers called for the cart, and he was carted off the field. "He rolled his ankle," said head coach Brandon Staley. Staley mentioned that they would know more later. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the injury "doesn't figure to be as bad as it sounded." The Chargers did announce that he is questionable heading into the Monday night game. This is the third time since August that Murray has injured his ankle, and the injury has looked bad. Drue Tranquill will take over his starting spot at linebacker opposite Kyzir White if Murray is out for the foreseeable future. In week two against Dallas, he injured his ankle and went back in on the next series. The former Notre Dame linebacker wasn't called upon in the first two weeks except for special teams. He came in against the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday and had a tackle for loss along with half a sack. "When his time was called, he stepped right in," defensive coordinator Renaldo Hill said on Friday. "He was physical on tackles; you saw him flying around the field. He was the huge impact that we needed." Murray was having a rollercoaster kind of second-year where he was inconsistent. The Chargers will be hoping he won't an extended amount of time, but it sounds like he has a real chance to play on Monday. For the time being, it will be Tranquill and White starting at linebacker if Murray can't go, but the way he has come back from these ankle injuries, no one should be surprised if he is out there on Monday. What's up, Doc? Earlier in the week, Staley mentioned that he felt like defensive tackle Justin Jones had a better chance of playing on Monday than cornerback Chris Harris Jr. Well, on Saturday, it was announced that Jones will be out, and Harris is a game-time decision. "He's practiced, and he's wanted to get out there," Staley said. "This guy's a real competitor, and so he really wanted to test it with shoulder pads on, give it a healthy two- or three-days work." Staley mentioned that Jones had a good start to the week but felt a tug during yesterday's practice. The team does have Christian Covington and Joe Gaziano, whom they elevated from the practice squad earlier this week. www.si.com/nfl/chargers/news/chargers-lb-kenneth-murray-injured-during-practice

The Raiders just bring a dark cloud with them. Rolled his ankle in practice and had to be carted off? A bad season for K9 may be getting worse.

I hope they call up either fehoko or merrill, I don’t like the idea of just rolling with four DTs, gaizano got the call up two weeks in a row to fill in for jones but we still had banks so there were still rotating 5 guys. With jones out you got joseph, tillery, covington, and gaizano. They need one more because the raiders are going to run the ball.

Is the Charger game not going to be on TV or is it regional and I'm stuck with the Battle of Foxboro? Sunday Ticket App is a waste of money so far... Most Charger games have been on TV here, and this weeks is "Blacked Out"... BS Black Out crap needs to go away.

Tranquil has EARNED the start over Murray. Injury or not.

Tranquil has EARNED the start over Murray. Injury or not. Agree. Now let's see how The Tranq does over a whole game. Waller and Jacobs... this should be a good test.
