The Los Angeles Chargers are officially listing OT Joe Alt as questionable for Week 8’s “Thursday Night Football” matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. He was listed as “limited” in each of the team’s practices (including a walkthrough on Wednesday) this week after missing the past three games with an ankle injury. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport
Alt moved from right to left tackle after a season-ending injury to Rashawn Slater, but it hasn’t fazed Alt, who’s given up just three total pressures on 133 pass-blocking opportunities per PFF, earning himself the fourth-highest pass-blocking grade among offensive tackles this season.
If available, his presence could be just what the team needs to bounce back after dropping three of its last four games, with its only win coming against the 1-6 Miami Dolphins in that span.
Quarterback Justin Herbert is averaging 6.6 yards per attempt, a 7-5 TD-INT ratio and 88.0 passer rating without Alt on the field compared to 7.7 yards per attempt, a 6-1 TD-INT ratio and 103.7 passer rating with him on it so far in 2025, per NFL Next Gen Stats.
