Chargers' Joe Alt carted off with right ankle injury vs Titans

NASHVILLE — Los Angeles Chargers left tackle Joe Alt was carted off the field late in the second quarter Sunday at Nissan Stadium after suffering a right ankle injury during an incomplete pass play against the Tennessee Titans. Team officials listed Alt as questionable to return.

The injury occurred when Titans defensive end Sebastian Joseph-Day fell into the back of Alt's right leg as Alt fell backward, according to descriptions of the play. Alt did not put weight on the leg and was taken off the field on a cart with 4:49 remaining before halftime. Jamaree Salyer replaced him at left tackle, and the Chargers surrendered a sack on the next play.

Alt had missed three games earlier this season with a sprained right ankle and returned on Oct. 23 for the Chargers' win over Minnesota. The 22-year-old former first-round pick had shifted from right tackle to left tackle this season following a season-ending knee injury to Rashawn Slater, and his return had been viewed as stabilizing for an offensive line that has been repeatedly tested by injuries.
