It's not a totally trivial loss for the Chargers, who were relying on Rumph to play around 15 defensive snaps per game when he was active. For the remainder of the season, they'll be relatively thin on the edge behind Khalil Mack, Joey Bosa and Tuli Tuipulotu.
Rumph hurt his foot during pregame warmups Sunday and was unable to play despite being active. While the exact severity of his injury isn't yet clear, it's concerning that he was in a walking boot after the game. His status for next Sunday's game against Green Bay will likely come into focus based on his status in practice this week.
Rumph was set to play, but injured his foot during pregame warm-ups and will not suit up. He has provided depth at outside linebacker while contributing to special teams this season and has five tackles (four solo) in six games this season. Tuli Tuipulotu is set to get an uptick in defensive snaps in relief of starters Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack.
