The Baltimore Ravens vs. the Los Angeles Chargers. A 4-5 squad against a 0-8 squad. The NFL certainly didn’t envision this when scheduling Monday Night Football for Week 10.
This is the hand the league dealt itself, though, and in all fairness, it’s two desperate teams duking it out for a win. The Ravens are fighting to keep their playoff hopes alive without Lamar Jackson, and the Chargers are tired of going winless.
With nothing to lose, both teams are ready to leave it all on the line. Here is everything you need to know for Baltimore’s Week 10 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Ravens vs. Chargers injury updates
Ravens
PLAYER | INJURY | STATUS |
|---|---|---|
Jaylinn Hawkins | knee | OUT |
Adam Randall | neck | QUESTIONABLE |
A longer break did just the trick for the Ravens. Not only are there only two players with injury designations, but everyone on the 53-man roster practiced this week. Stars like Trey Hendrickson and Zay Flowers were also free from injuries — it seems they'll finally be firing at 100%.
Jaylinn Hawkins is out once again with a knee injury. While there was progress in rehab, he’ll miss at least one more game. That’ll keep the spotlight on Keondre Jackson and K’Von Wallace as they try to settle down in rotational roles.
On the other hand, Adam Randall is making a bid to make his NFL debut. It’s now nine straight full practices for the fifth-round rookie, and with an open spot on the 53-man roster, the door could be open for Randall.
Chargers
PLAYER | INJURY | STATUS |
|---|---|---|
Branson Taylor | ankle | OUT |
Brenen Thompson | hamstring | OUT |
Isas Waxter | ankle | OUT |
Kendall Williamson | calf | OUT |
David Njoku | fibula | QUESTIONABLE |
Ladd McConkey | back | QUESTIONABLE |
Denzel Perryman | pectoral | QUESTIONABLE |
Trey Pipkins | knee | QUESTIONABLE |
Justin Eboigbe | ankle | QUESTIONABLE |
Kayode Awosika | fibula | QUESTIONABLE |
The Chargers’ training and medical staff had their work cut out for them this week. 10 names are still working their way back from injury, and it’s several notable players.
The biggest one is obviously Ladd McConkey. He’s battling a back injury and didn’t practice at all this past week. He’s been their most reliable weapon on a struggling offense this year, and without him, there’s not much to worry about.
Other potentially important players include David Njoku, Denzel Perryman, and Justin Eboigbe. Each may have a rotational role should they play on Monday. All were trending in the right direction this week, although Eboigbe was never anything more than a limited participant.
Key matchups for Ravens in Week 10
Jesse Minter vs. his former team
There’s no bad blood, but Jesse Minter would like nothing more than to beat his former team and head coach Jim Harbaugh. The players definitely want that win for their coach, too.
Both sides hold the advantage of knowing each other's tendencies. However, Minter holds a slight upper hand, knowing many of the players lining up on the opposing sideline. He should know how to attack Justin Herbert, and he might also have the insider information to beat the Chargers’ defense.
Pass rush gets perfect get-right test to start second half
The Ravens have posted just 17 sacks in 2026. It’s been severely underwhelming for how much the defense is paid, and they need more from Trey Hendrickson. I understand he’s been double- and triple-teamed and held at times, but 2 sacks isn’t good from a $112 million man.
Luckily, Los Angeles’ offensive line is ready to give Baltimore’s defensive line a get-right test. They’ve allowed the second-most sacks in the NFL and are once again dealing with a litany of health issues along the front.
Baltimore must take advantage of those weaknesses. Justin Herbert may be having a terrible season; he’s still uber-talented, though. The message to the defense should be to make him uncomfortable and to have one of your best single-game performances of the year.
Will the offense look more fluid with Jacoby Brissett?
Can Jacoby Brissett save the Ravens? We’re about to find out.
Brissett is a far more accomplished passer than either Tyler Huntley or Joe Fagnano. Teams won’t be able to crowd the line of scrimmage and bank on a Derrick Henry run taking shape 60+% of the time. The passing game will actually be a real threat, and guys like Zay Flowers should have a chance to feast.
And that will likely boost Henry’s production. Baltimore’s troublesome offensive line hasn’t created much space for Henry, and the stacked boxes have only made life worse. With Brissett opening things up a little, the veteran running back is due more favorable opportunities.
The Chargers are also middle-of-the-pack against the pass and below-average against the run. Even with Brissett, the Ravens should have their moments on Monday night.
Prediction
Ravens 27, Chargers 10
Baltimore’s defense has shown promise over the past several weeks. The issue is: they haven’t held up for all four quarters. They start hot, but then they’re on the field for so long that the cracks begin to show. I think they turn a corner against the Chargers.
Jacoby Brissett has what it takes to lead a competitive offense. He’s not a lethal quarterback, but he does enough with his arm, and when Derrick Henry is in the backfield, it’s hard to bet against them. Pairing those two forces should finally put the Ravens back on their feet.
Los Angeles isn’t a dangerous team either. While they have talent, it’s underperforming, and offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel hasn’t gotten comfortable. It’s fair to expect the Ravens to post a lights-out showing.
