Report: Chargers' Mack dislocated elbow in MNF win
Los Angeles Chargers pass-rusher Khalil Mack avoided a season-ending injury after dislocating his elbow in Monday's win against the Las Vegas Raiders, reports NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.
Mack will be sidelined for a few weeks but is expected to return to the lineup this season.
The nine-time Pro Bowler injured his elbow after his arm got caught between teammate Troy Dye and Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker while attempting to make a tackle in the first quarter. Mack was able to jog off the field holding his left hand. He watched most of the second half wearing a medical sling while sitting on the bench.
Mack, a three-time first-team All-Pro, is playing in his fourth season with the Chargers. He signed a one-year deal to return to Los Angeles last offseason. The Buffalo product has recorded 143 tackles for loss and 108.5 sacks over the span of his career.
Mack recorded a sack and tackle against his former team before exiting Monday's contest. Bud Dupree saw more playing time in Mack's absence. Caleb Murphy and Tuli Tuipulotu could also see more snaps in the coming weeks.
