Chargers Surprise, Make Khalil Mack Inactive vs. Bengals

Cincinnati set to face Los Angeles without star pass rusher

Mack ruled out as Chargers manage injuries

In a surprising turn of events, the Los Angeles Chargers have ruled star pass rusher Khalil Mack inactive for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The news comes as a major setback for the Chargers, who are already dealing with a number of injuries on defense. Mack is one of the best pass rushers in the NFL, and his absence will be a major blow to the Chargers' hopes of slowing down the Bengals' high-powered offense.

Mack has been dealing with a foot injury that has limited him in practice this week. The Chargers initially hoped that he would be able to play, but they ultimately decided that it was not worth risking further injury.

The Bengals will be relieved to hear that Mack will not be playing. He is one of the most feared pass rushers in the league, and his absence will give the Bengals' offense a much easier time.

The Chargers will now have to rely on other players to step up in Mack's absence. Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram are both capable pass rushers, but they will need to have big games in order to make up for Mack's absence.

The Bengals are coming into the game with a 2-0 record, while the Chargers are 1-1. The Bengals are favored to win the game, but the Chargers will be hoping to pull off an upset without Mack.
