Ogbonnia (pelvis) is active for Thursday night's game against Denver. Ogbonnia has been dealing with a pelvic injury this week, but he gave himself a chance to play after logging a limited practice Wednesday. The third-year nose tackle has logged 15 tackles (six solo) over his last five games and will suit up for Thursday's AFC West showdown.
Ogbonnia (pelvis) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Broncos. Ogbonnia upgraded from DNPs on Monday and Tuesday to a limited session Wednesday, giving himself a chance to play in Thursday night's divisional contest. If the 24-year-old is able to play through his pelvis injury in Week 16, he'll likely serve as one of the Chargers' top interior defensive linemen.
Ogbonnia (pelvis) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate. Ogbonnia's status is only an estimate as the Chargers held a walkthrough to begin their prep for a game against the Broncos on Thursday. The UCLA product played a season-high 40 snaps on defense in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, but likely suffered the injury late in the game.
Ogbonnia was activated from the Chargers' reserve/PUP list Sunday, so this was the logical next step. It remains to be seen how much action he will see, but he is expected to be available as a depth option at defensive end behind Austin Johnson.
Ogbonnia is still listed as questionable for Monday night. The Chargers opened the defensive end's 21-day activation window Oct. 19. The second-year player ruptured his left patellar tendon in 2022 after playing in seven games and recording 14 tackles.
