The Chargers announced on Saturday that they’ve elevated eight players from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Texans.
Those players are:
WR Michael Bandy
RB Darius Bradwell
DL Andrew Brown
S Ben DeLuca
EDGE Emeke Egbule
WR Maurice Ffrench
DL Forrest Merrill
WR Jason Moore
Los Angeles has 13 players on the COVID-19 list, and all of them will not play in Week 16, so the team needs all the reinforcements they could get.
Michael Bandy, Jason Moore and Maurice Ffrench will fill out the wide receiver room, with Mike Williams and Jalen Guyton out.
Austin Ekeler is out, so Darius Bradwell will fill the void in the backfield.
Justin Jones and Joe Gaziano will not play, which led to the decision of promoting Andrew Brown and Forrest Merrill.
Derwin James is questionable with a hamstring injury and Mark Webb is still out, so Ben DeLuca will fill out the safety room.
Joey Bosa and Chris Rumph II are not, which led to the elevation of Emeke Egbule.
