Chargers CB J.C. Jackson, TE Donald Parham listed as doubtful for Sunday's opener
The Los Angeles Chargers released their final injury report Friday ahead of the Week 1 battle with the Las Vegas Raiders.
The report lists Pro Bowl cornerback J.C. Jackson and third-year tight end Donald Parham as doubtful. Linebacker Drue Tranquill was also listed as questionable.
The biggest question this week has been whether or not Jackson will play in the season opener after undergoing minor ankle surgery last month. It appears that it could go up until game day to answer that.
Head coach Brandon Staley said Jackson was out doing defensive back drills on his own and they’re ramping him up. Staley added Jackson will go again tomorrow and pregame and the coaching staff “will see what happens.”
The time frame of Jackson’s return was initially set to two to four weeks after having the procedure on Aug. 23. He would likely be replaced by Bryce Callahan, Michael Davis or Asante Samuel Jr. as the Chargers seek to neutralize Davante Adams.
Parham did not practice on Friday as he's dealing with a hamstring issue. If he can’t go, the Chargers signed Gerald Everett this offseason or can promote either Richard Rodgers or Hunter Kampmoyer from the practice squad to the active roster.
