The team announced that wide receiver Derius Davis (knee) and left tackle Joe Alt (ankle) are inactive after neither participated in practice this week.

There is good news for the Chargers in that right guard Mekhi Becton (concussion) and tight end Tucker Fisk (toe) have been cleared to play despite being listed as questionable earlier in the week. However, tight end Will Dissly (knee), who was also questionable, will be unavailable.

In addition to Davis, Alt, and Dissly, the Chargers’ inactive list includes safety RJ Mickens, cornerback Nikko Reed, outside linebacker Kyle Kennard, and defensive tackle Naquan Jones.
