Dupree (foot) is not among the Chargers' inactives for Monday's Week 12 contest against Baltimore. Dupree dealt with a foot injury throughout the week and was listed as questionable coming into Monday, but he'll be able to play against the Ravens. The veteran pass rusher typically plays around half to two-thirds of Los Angeles' defensive snaps, and he ranks second on the team with 5.0 sacks. Dupree could have his work cut out for him Monday against Lamar Jackson and a Ravens offense that is tied for the second-fewest sacks allowed (15) this season entering Monday.

Dupree (foot) is not among the Chargers' inactives for Monday's Week 12 contest against Baltimore. Dupree dealt with a foot injury throughout the week and was listed as questionable coming into Monday, but he'll be able to play against the Ravens. The veteran pass rusher typically plays around half to two-thirds of Los Angeles' defensive snaps, and he ranks second on the team with 5.0 sacks. Dupree could have his work cut out for him Monday against Lamar Jackson and a Ravens offense that is tied for the second-fewest sacks allowed (15) this season entering Monday.
Dupree (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Ravens. Dupree was a limited practice participant all week due to a foot injury, and he joins Khalil Mack (groin) as the Chargers' two edge rushers with an injury designation heading into Monday's game. Joey Bosa and Tuli Tuipulotu would see a heavy snap count if one or both of Dupree and Mack are unable to play, though Nick Niemann and Troy Dye would also be candidates for additional snaps on defense. In the six regular-season games since the Chargers' Week 5 bye, Dupree has logged 12 tackles (nine solo), including 3.0 sacks, and one forced fumble.
Dupree recorded five tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Titans. The outside linebacker also played on 69 percent of the defensive snaps. Dupree has 17 tackles (13 solo), including 5.0 sacks, two passes defensed, including an interception, and a forced fumble in 2024.
Dupree finished with 2.0 sacks in the Chargers' 17-10 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday. The outside linebacker also played on more than half of the defensive snaps for the third week in a row. Dupree has six total tackles, two passes defensed and an interception this season.
Dupree will sign a two-year contract with the Chargers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Dupree reportedly recently met with both the Falcons and Steelers in addition to the Chargers, and it appears that he'll end up with Los Angeles. The veteran edge rusher enjoyed a solid bounce-back campaign with Atlanta last season, recording 39 tackles (his most since 2019), including 6.5 sacks (his most since 2020). Dupree will add to an already formidable Chargers pass rush that also includes Joey Bosa (foot), Khalil Mack and Tuli Tuipulotu.
Dupree was limited at practice Friday due to a groin injury that he presumably sustained during the week. If he sits out in Week 8, Lorenzo Carter would probably see an uptick in pass-rushing opportunities.
