Chargers' Khalil Mack gets honest about his injury situation

Los Angeles Chargers star Khalil Mack has finally offered an update on his injury situation.

The short of it? He indeed suffered a setback last week when only playing four snaps in the win over the Tennessee Titans.

And no, he doesn’t plan on missing the Week 11 primetime game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Speaking with reporters on Thursday, Mack revealed that he suffered a groin injury at the end of that Week 9 win over the Cleveland Browns, then aggravated it again last week, according to ESPN’s Kris Rhim.

While Mack and even Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh had attmepetd to downplay the injury before Week 10, it’s clear now that he went out and struggled with it. From the sounds of it, he could be risking similar aggravation after appearing on the injury report this week, too.

But Mack isn’t likely to miss a primetime game against the Cincinnati Bengals with major playoff implications on Sunday night. Rather than the final injury report, though, the attention now turns to how many snaps he’ll actually play.
