Rumph (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Rumph was considered doubtful for the contest, so his absence was expected. Tuli Tuipulotu will likely be the next man up to receive extra snaps in his absence.

Rumph (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
After missing practice Thursday and Friday, Rumph will officially carry a doubtful designation into the Chargers' matchup with Miami in Week 1. Rookie second-rounder Tuli Tuipulotu would be in line for increased reps at outside linebacker in the event Rumph can't play.

Rumph (knee) does not carry a game status designation for Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Rumph has missed the Chargers' past two games after being forced out during the team's Week 7 loss to the Seahawks. After being limited in back-to-back practices to open Week 11, the linebacker fully participated in Friday's session. Expect Rumph to reprise a prominent role opposite Khalil Mack on Sunday.

Rumph (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Rumph was considered doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup, so it's not very surprising that he'll be unable to suit up. Derrek Tuszka will likely see additional playing time Sunday.

Rumpth (knee) is listed as doutbful for Sunday's matchup with the 49ers, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barring a quick turnaround, Rumpth is trending towards a second straight absence due to a knee injury. Assuming he is unable to go, Derrek Tuszka could see a more prominent role opposite Khalil Mack at outside linebacker.

Rumph (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Rumph suffered a knee injury during the Chargers' Week 7 loss to the Seahawks and was unable to practice following the team's Week 8 bye, so it's not surprising to see him ruled out for Week 9. The second-year linebacker was filling in for Joey Bosa, who's still out for at least a month with a groin injury, so Los Angeles is going to be extremely thin at outside linebacker against Atlanta.

Rumph didn't return to Sunday's loss to the Seahawks due to a hip/knee injury, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rumph was shaken up on special teams during the second half of Sunday's matchup and was unable to return. The Chargers have a Week 8 bye, so he'll have an additional week to recover before the team faces Atlanta on Nov. 6.

Chargers coach Brandon Staley indicated that Rumph will step in at defensive end in place of starter Joey Bosa (groin), who was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Bosa set to miss at least four games while on IR, Rumph and veteran Kyle Van Noy are expected to help fill in along the edge of the Bolts' defensive front, according to Thiry. The second-year linebacker played primarily on special teams -- 330 of his 496 total snaps -- during his rookie campaign, but Staley said Wednesday that "he's ready to play on the edge." Rumph recorded two tackles and one pass defended while playing a career-high 42 defensive snaps Sunday against Jacksonville, and he'll look to tally his first sack of the season next week against Houston.
