Rashawn Slater is believed to have a high-ankle sprain that could sideline him for weeks. Separately, coach Jim Harbaugh said OC Mike McDaniel's job is not in jeopardy and pushed back on criticism of the offense's reliance on Justin Herbert improvising.

An analysis piece questions whether Tarheeb Still and Cam Hart can be the Chargers' long-term starting corners, citing Hart allowing 11 catches on 16 targets for 174 yards this season.
