Chargers’ Khalil Mack injures elbow, questionable to return against Raiders

By Canadian Press on September 15, 2025.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Chargers star pass rusher Khalil Mack injured his left elbow at the end of the first quarter of Los Angeles’ game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night.

The Chargers announced he was questionable to return. Mack was going to get imaging tests done at Allegiant Stadium, according to the ESPN broadcast.

Mack had already established his presence against the Raiders, the club that drafted him fifth in 2014. He sacked quarterback Geno Smith to force a Las Vegas field goal. His 12 1/2 sacks against the Raiders are the most versus any team.

He is a three-time first-team AP All-Pro player and a nine-time Pro Bowler.

Mack has recorded double-digit sacks five times, including a career-high 17 in 2023. But he had just six sacks last season.
