The Chargers placed Alt (ankle) on injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alt is expected to miss the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery earlier in the week to repair a high ankle sprain. Jamaree Salyer should take over as the team's starting left tackle going forward, while Alt will shift his focus to getting healthy for the 2026 campaign.

Alt will have season-ending surgery to repair a right high-ankle sprain that he sustained during the Chargers' 27-20 win over the Titans on Sunday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alt missed three games earlier in the season due to the same injury. He was cleared to return Week 8 and started at left tackle in each of the Chargers' last two games, but the injury this time around is severe enough for him to require surgery that will sideline the 2024 first-rounder for the rest of the season. Jamaree Salyer took over at left tackle after Alt's exit, and the former could be the starter at that position for the rest of the season.

Alt is believed to have suffered a right high ankle sprain in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

Alt was carted off the field in the second quarter, and he's apparently dealing with another high ankle sprain on his right leg. It's the same injury he suffered in Week 4 against the Giants, but this time it could require a procedure to repair it. The offensive lineman will undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm the diagnosis. If Alt is forced to miss action moving forward, Jamaree Salyer is a top candidate to take over at left tackle.

Alt is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 9 contest versus Tennessee due to an ankle injury.

EDGE Analysis

Alt had his lower right leg rolled up on by a defender on a Chargers passing play in the second quarter. He had to be carted off the field, which is generally not a good sign for an in-game return to action, though Alt has been initially deemed questionable. If he needs to miss any time, the loss of one of the league's best offensive tackles would certainly be a big blow to Los Angeles. For now, Jamaree Salyer has entered the game at left tackle.

Alt (ankle) is active for Thursday's game against Minnesota, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

A high-ankle sprain from Week 4 against the Giants prevented Alt from playing in the Chargers' last three games. The second-year lineman has been cleared to play Thursday, and he will slide back into his starting role at left tackle against the Vikings. Starting right tackle Trey Pipkins (knee) has also been cleared to play Week 8.

Alt (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Vikings, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Chargers only held a walk-through version of practice Wednesday, and Alt was estimated as a limited participant. Alt told reporters earlier in the week that he wanted to play in Week 8, and the Chargers would be in quite the bind at the tackle position if he had to sit out another week, as both projected starting right tackle Trey Pipkins (knee) and top backup Austin Deculus (ankle) are also designated as questionable for Thursday's contest.

Alt (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

When asked by reporters if he would play Thursday versus the Vikings, Alt said, "that's the plan," per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com. He could do himself a huge favor on that front by practicing in full Wednesday -- otherwise, he'll likely be carrying an injury designation into gameday in Week 8.

Alt (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game against the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

Alt will miss his third straight game this week, as he is still recovering from an ankle injury he suffered in Week 4. The 2024 first-round pick did return to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday, which is a good sign for his status next week.

Alt (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

Alt has made encouraging steps toward a return, practicing for the first time since suffering the ankle injury in Week 4. Though he logged two limited practice sessions, he looks to be headed for a third straight absence.

Alt (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Alt sustained a high-ankle sprain in Week 4 against the Giants, which has prevented him from playing or practicing prior to Thursday's session. His ability to practice in a limited capacity is an encouraging sign that he is progressing in his recovery, but he still faces an uphill battle to make his return Sunday against the Colts.
