NFL Trade Rumors
The Los Angeles Chargers have officially placed OT Joe Alt on injured reserve, per the NFL transaction wire.
Alt went down with a high ankle sprain for the second time this year and it apparently was more severe than the initial injury.
It’s a huge blow for the Chargers, as Alt was already playing on the left side instead of starting LT Rashawn Slater. Los Angeles surrendered six sacks to the Titans in Week 9 without Alt.
Alt, 22, was a three-year starter at left tackle for Notre Dame, earning first-team AP All-American honors in consecutive years. The Chargers used...

Valdes-Scantling’s locker is next to Rodgers in the practice facility. Rodgers said last week that MVS is one of his favorite teammates of all-time.

The Jets are 1-7 on the season and QB Justin Fields has not impressed as a starter. So it makes sense that...

He’s also in the final year...
