Khalil Mack’s left elbow injury isn’t season-ending, and he returned to the Chargers’ sideline with a wrap after a first-quarter scare, finishing the game with a sack. The Chargers must navigate without him as Caleb Murphy stepped in, playing 31 snaps and delivering a QB hurry in Mack’s absence, a signal that Murphy could take on a larger role if the injury lingers.

As Mack’s situation tests the pass rush depth, Murphy’s expanded workload becomes a notable fantasy angle, and Mack’s 12.5 sacks against the Raiders since 2021 underlines the potential ceiling when he’s healthy. The Week 2 win also hints at how the defense could lean on its depth in upcoming matchups with Las Vegas.
