If they miss one game this week, they will have 3 weeks to heal up until the next game.
If both will be out much longer than that, there are a number of OT's they can sign off the street as a temporary solution, same quality at WR isn't out there.

An ugly loss and a not so obvious head spear and people are going full Brandon Staley on the guy.
this isn't just a 15-yard penalty anymore. each penalty is going to carry a suspension with it. dude has to change his ways as of today.
i am rooting for him because it seems like a "heat of the moment" thing and not malicious (and he is a great player), but that won't save him.

He has had a hell of a year so far and will be in the pro bowl or All Pro at the end of the season.

Again, no specifics on Derwin's play to justify his salary. It surprises me you're willing to throw Herbert under the bus in order to defend Derwin.
I understand he has had to endure different schemes every year and that's tough to do and for him I do hate that as it doesn't help him progress.
Maybe year two in this scheme he is much more comfortable.
I only mention it because you never say a bad word about him. Bad decision, bad throw or gets injured....never a bad comment.
Love Herbert but I still at this point think Rivers was better. He progressed while Herbert has not. And that's not a bad thing. Rivers will be in the HOF.
I'm hoping he will be able to progress with this staff going forward.

Prisco's NFL Week 3 Post Pattern: QBs paying painful price for subpar O-line play
By Pete Prisco
Sep 23, 2024 at 8:14 pm ET•5 min read
What's wrong with offensive play?
That's a question we are all asking. Scoring is down. Big plays are down. Sacks are up. Quarterbacks getting rocked is an every Sunday thing.
The reason is simple. Offensive line play stinks. Usually we see that in the first two weeks of the season, but it carried over this week and again impacted the offenses. Just sitting in our green room watching every game, it seemed like a quarterback was either getting sacked, hit or running for his life on nearly every play.
Offensive lines don't hit in the summer much, which is why they are bad now. The defensive linemen are so athletic that it takes work to prepare for all their stunts and looks. When you combine that with all the off coverages, it's a problem. Quarterbacks are sped up by the fronts, but slowed down by the back-end looks.
Until the offensive line play improves, expect it to stay that way. They don't hit enough in the summer, which is why we are seeing the offensive messes every week in the NFL. This week has been no different.
They don't hit, so their quarterbacks are paying the price.
Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
The Wasted Decade is done.
Build Back Better.

Well, the situation depends on how long they think Alt/Slater will be out.
