Khalil Mack Injury: Out at least four games

The Chargers placed Mack (elbow) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Mack has at least avoided a season-ending injury, with Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reporting that the veteran edge rusher suffered a dislocated elbow in Monday night's 20-9 win over the Raiders but is only expected to miss a few weeks. He'll be forced to sit out at least four games due to being placed on IR, making Week 7 against the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 19 the earliest possible date for Mack's return. Until Mack is back in action, Bud Dupree is expected to step into a starting role opposite Tuli Tuipulotu.
