Latest Chargers star news for Week 11

The Los Angeles Chargers will need star pass rusher Khalil Mack at his best when the team hits primetime to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11.

However, Mack played just a handful of snaps last week as he battles a groin injury he suffered the week before.

Here’s a look at a list of ongoing Mack injury updates before kickoff Sunday night.

Khalil Mack injury update

• Update: Mack got candid about his injury situation after receiving a “questionable” tag for the game. He was DNP all week.

• Mack played just a handful of snaps during the team’s Week 10 win over the Tennessee Titans.

The road so far…

Mack limped off the field late in the Chargers’ 27-10 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 9, but dismissed any injury concerns. He continued to miss practice all week before being labeled questionable, then played approximately four snaps in the win over the Titans, prompting concern that he might suffer an injury setback.

What it means

The Chargers have been very quiet about Mack’s status. Some of last week’s handling may have been to take it easy on him before playing a team with two winners, but the very limited snaps during the game itself were concerning. Exactly what he does in practice this week, if anything, will be something to watch very closely.
