"Los Angeles Chargers left tackle Joe Alt suffered a high right ankle sprain in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Tennessee Titans and could require a medical procedure to repair it, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Joe Alt suffered a high right ankle sprain in the Chargers' 27-20 win over the Titans and may need a medical procedure. He left in the second quarter after Sebastian Joseph-Day fell into his right ankle. This is Alt's second high-ankle sprain this season; he exited Week 4 against the Giants and missed three games. The Chargers perform much better with Alt: 4-0 when he plays entire games versus 2-3 without him, and Justin Herbert's QBR drops from 80 to 56 without Alt. The team's pass-block win rate falls from 52.6% to a league-worst 48% without him. Multiple offensive-line injuries include Rashawn Slater's season-ending patellar tendon rupture and Mekhi Becton's absence; Bobby Hart also exited Sunday after contact.
