Chargers' Brutal Joe Alt injury update could doom Los Angeles' season

The Los Angeles Chargers moved to 6-3 with a win on Sunday, but they suffered, arguably, the biggest loss of their season. Standout offensive lineman Joe Alt was carted off the field during the win over the Tennessee Titans, and on Monday, the team announced some devastating news. Alt sustained a high-ankle sprain that will require season-ending surgery.

That means the Chargers will have to navigate the remainder of the season without their second-year lineman, who had already established himself as one of the better linemen in the league. With two-time Pro Bowl tackle Rashawn Slater already sidelined for the year with a knee injury, this is officially a nightmare scenario for Los Angeles.
