Rumph sustained a fractured foot during pregame warmups Sunday and is expected to miss the remainder of the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's not a totally trivial loss for the Chargers, who were relying on Rumph to play around 15 defensive snaps per game when he was active. For the remainder of the season, they'll be relatively thin on the edge behind Khalil Mack, Joey Bosa and Tuli Tuipulotu.

Rumph (foot) was seen in a walking boot following Sunday's loss to the Lions, Bridget Condon of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rumph hurt his foot during pregame warmups Sunday and was unable to play despite being active. While the exact severity of his injury isn't yet clear, it's concerning that he was in a walking boot after the game. His status for next Sunday's game against Green Bay will likely come into focus based on his status in practice this week.

Rumph (foot) is active but will not play Sunday against the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
Rumph was set to play but injured his foot during pregame warmups and will not suit up. He has provided depth at outside linebacker while contributing to special teams this season and has five tackles (four solo) in six games this season. Tuli Tuipulotu is set to get an uptick in defensive snaps in relief of starters Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack.

Rumph (hamstring) is active Sunday against the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Rumph logged full practices Thursday and Friday, setting up his return to the field in Week 3. The Duke product's return should be a boost to the Chargers' linebacker depth and on special teams.

Rumph (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
After logging a limited practice Wednesday, Rumph took on a full workload in consecutive days to close out the week. Thus, he is likely more on the optimistic side of questionable. Still, final confirmation of his status will not come until Sunday closer to kickoff.

Rumph (hamstring) was a full participant during Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Rumph did not play Week 1 or Week 2 while dealing with a hamstring injury, and he returned to practice in a limited fashion for the first time Wednesday. The third-year outside linebacker should now be good to go ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Vikings. Rumph figures to prominently contribute on special teams while also providing additional depth behind outside linebackers Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa (hamstring).

Rumph (hamstring) was a limited participant at the Chargers' practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Rumph has been unable to play in either of the team's games to this point in 2023, but his ability to practice Wednesday is a step in the right direction. The 24-year-old will to progress past his hamstring injury with a full practice before the end of the week.
