Chargers – After dropping the past two games, the Chargers will look to get back on track against a winless Texans team. Los Angeles was hit with the injury bug in the loss to Jaguars, and will be without starting left tackle Rashawn Slater, who suffered a torn biceps and edge defender Joey Bosa, who has a groin injury. Quarterback Justin Herbert is coming off an uneven performance, as he’s still recovering from a rib injury, but he could be elevated with the potential return of wide receiver Keenan Allen and center Corey Linsley. The defense could get a boost if J.C. Jackson returns to the action after a minor ankle procedure. – Gavino Borquez, Chargers Wire

Texans – Houston’s rookie class on defense has had solid performances for the past two weeks. Going against the Chargers’ aerial assault, cornerback Derek Stingley has an opportunity to have a breakout game much the same way safety Jalen Pitre did in Week 3. Houston’s passing offense is slowly coming alive as well, and it will be fascinating to see if they can keep up with Los Angeles, or if the Texans’ run-heavy scheme is successful enough to take the air out of the ball and keep Justin Herbert on the sideline. The Texans have been close in the fourth quarter, but that only counts in horseshoes and autocorrect. – Mark Lane, Texans Wire
