Rotowire
Eboigbe is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Houston due to an ankle injury, Noah Furtado of The Athletic reports.
Eboigbe was hurt in the first quarter, and his return is uncertain. Nick Barrett will likely pick up more defensive snaps for as long as Eboigbe remains sidelined.

Chargers' Justin Eboigbe: Breaks out in second season
Rotowire
Eboigbe tallied 39 total tackles (27 solo), including 6.0 sacks, across 17 regular-season games in 2025.
Eboigbe, a 2024 fourth-round pick from Alabama, played in just five regular-season games and logged 24 defensive snaps during his rookie campaign. However, he emerged as one of the Chargers' top defenders in his second NFL season, ranking third on the team in sacks and tackles for loss. Under contract through the 2027 season, Eboigbe is expected to remain one of Los Angeles' top interior defensive linemen in 2026.

The Chargers will be on the road in Week 9 to take on a pass-dependent Tennessee offense with an unimpressive offensive line.

Chargers' Justin Eboigbe: Questionable to return Monday
Rotowire
Eboigbe (ankle) is questionable to return to Monday night's contest against the Raiders, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Chargers' Justin Eboigbe: Joins rebuilt defense for Bolts
Rotowire
The Chargers selected Eboigbe in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 105th overall.
The fifth-year senior broke out in a major way along the Alabama Crimson Tide's defensive front last season, tallying 11.5 tackles for a loss and seven sacks en route to first-team All-SEC honors. With a prototypical frame (6-foot-4, 297 pounds) and solid burst with his upper body coupled with strong hand speed, Eboigbe projects well as a rotational defensive lineman early on and could push a number of the unassuming veterans above him on the depth chart for immediate playing time.
