Will Khalil Mack play for the Chargers against the Ravens in week 12? Latest injury update

Teammates and fans are keen to know if Khalil Mack, the Los Angeles Chargers' standout pass rusher, is going to return for the Week 12 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football.

Mack missed the Week 11 win (34-27) over the Cincinnati Bengals due to a groin injury and participated in limited practice sessions on Thursday and Friday, followed by a full practice on Saturday. And he spoke out confidently about his availability: “I’m not practicing for nothing.”

Rare Mack absence due to be short-lived

Mack’s absence last week marked his first missed game since joining the Chargers in 2022. Despite his injury, the Chargers secured a victory over the Bengals, with Joey Bosa stepping up in Mack’s absence. The anticipated reunion of Mack and Bosa on the field offers a significant boost to the Chargers' defense as they prepare to face the Ravens.

While Mack’s return is promising, the Chargers' coaching staff will likely monitor his condition closely to prevent any setbacks. The team may implement a snap count to manage his workload, especially considering the depth provided by emerging talents like Tuli Tuipulotu. This cautious approach aims to ensure Mack’s sustained health for the remainder of the season.

The Chargers' defense has been formidable, consistently holding opponents to under 20 points per game. Mack’s return enhances their pass-rushing capabilities, which will be crucial against the Ravens' dynamic offense led by Lamar Jackson.
