The Los Angeles Chargers won’t be on the field during Sunday’s Week 16 NFL slate. Those Chargers got the critical late-season game out of the way early on a short turnaround, besting the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football.

The Los Angeles Chargers signed safety Eddie Jackson for their practice squad on Monday, the NFL team announced. The Chargers added the former Alabama defensive back on the same day that they placed safety Marcus Maye on injured reserve. Maye sustained an ankle injury in Thursday night’s 34-27 victory over the Denver Broncos.

The Chargers are virtually a slam dunk for the playoffs after their quarterback approached Thursday night's game like a day on the courts.
