Ankle injury

Titans’ WR DeAndre Hopkins, listed as questionable for Sunday due to an ankle injury, is expected to play vs. the Chargers, per source. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)

FF Today's Take: Hopkins missed practice all week so it's somewhat surprising that he's going to give it a go. He went down with an ankle injury very late in last week's game against the Saints. He'll be a shaky WR2 in a game with the Chargers that has some overall fantasy appeal

The Los Angeles Chargers kick off Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, Sept. 17 at 10:00 a.m. PT.

Who is going to come out victorious?

Here is a look at the predictions from each of our writers at Chargers Wire:

After facing defeat to the Dolphins last week, the Chargers will look to get in the win column. Offensively, Los Angeles had no problem lighting up the scoreboard against Miami, finishing with 34 points. While they surrendered 36 points to Miami, the Titans don’t present an offense near as explosive as them. Ryan Tannehill struggled against the Saints, throwing three interceptions on the day. Derrick Henry could pose a threat on the ground, but Tennessee will be without Peter Skoronski, their best offensive lineman. I expect Los Angeles’ defense to bounce back and Justin Herbert to light it up against a thin Titans secondary

Nick Folk kicked a 41-yard field goal in overtime in a sudden downpour and the Tennessee Titans snapped an eight-game skid by beating the Los Angeles Chargers 27-24 Sunday.

With rookie left guard Peter Skoronski sidelined for the Week 2 game against the Los Angeles Chargers, the Tennessee Titans will reportedly start Xavier Newman in his place.

According to Justin Melo of Broadway Sports, Newman will get the nod at left guard over other candidates that included Dillon Radunz and Corey Levin.

While Newman is listed as the backup at left guard behind Skoronski on the depth chart, this is still somewhat of a surprise, as I figured the Titans would opt for the more experienced Levin, who has proven to be a solid backup

We now have more clarity on the “illness” that led to the Tennessee Titans ruling out rookie left guard Peter Skoronski for the Week 2 game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

According to Jared Stillman of 102.5 The Game, and as confirmed by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Skoronski had an issue with his appendix that required an appendectomy.

It isn’t clear exactly when Skoronski had the appendectomy done, but the recovery time can be anywhere from one to four weeks, so it’s possible Skoronski misses multiple games. We wish him a speedy recovery
