<p>Bud Dupree is listed with a hamstring and did not practice, contributing to Chargers’ pass-rush depth concerns ahead of Week 6.</p><p>His status could influence the rush package and defensive rotations in Week 7.</p>

Dupree is highlighted as a rotational veteran who could contribute in the edge rotation, helping stabilize the Chargers’ pass rush alongside Bosa and potential midseason adds.

Dupree anchors the interim rush plan, with Tuipulotu and Murphy sharing edge duties and Kennard stepping up if needed. His production could define how quickly the Chargers maintain their defensive edge.

Dupree would see a bump if Mack is limited or out, following last season’s six sacks. A bigger role could translate into immediate fantasy value, especially in deeper leagues that reward consistent edge pressure.

Bud Dupree, while still contributing, is viewed as a transitional piece in the Chargers' defense, with the team looking for younger players like Kennard to assume greater responsibilities.
