Joshua Palmer, wide receiver for the Los Angeles Chargers, will not play in Week 3 due to elbow and calf injuries. Despite being listed as questionable, he failed to practice throughout the week, leading to his first missed game of the season. His absence may lead to a more run-heavy offense for the Chargers, especially with quarterback Justin Herbert dealing with a high-ankle sprain.

• Palmer's absence could lead to increased opportunities for other receivers on the Chargers.
• The Chargers may adjust their offensive strategy to compensate for Palmer and Herbert's injuries.
