Chargers could exploit Broncos injury update in Week 6 AFC West clash

On Sunday, the Los Angeles Chargers will face their AFC West rivals, the Denver Broncos. The Chargers are coming off a bye week, whereas the Broncos, who are 3- 2, are coming off a dominating 34-18 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.

However, the Broncos may have lost a key piece to their offense line during the victory. It appears that Alex Palczewski, the Broncos' starting right tackle, suffered a high-ankle sprain.

#Broncos are bringing back veteran OT Cam Fleming to the practice squad, per source. @mikeklis9news first reported.

The move comes after RT Alex Palczewski and center Luke Wattenberg sustained injuries in the win over Las Vegas.

With recent moves made by the franchise, it doesn't seem that Palczewski will be available for Sunday's game. On the other side, the Chargers pass rush was nursing a few injuries before the bye week. Joey Bosa has been dealing with hip issues.

The Chargers will be looking to pressure rookie quarterback Bo Nix a lot on Sunday. Nix not having his starting right tackle could be a recipe for the Chargers to have a field day in the Broncos backfield.
