4. Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa combine for 4 sacks

The Washington offensive line is still in a sorry state as it has been for most of the season. Going into Sunday’s game, there’s a chance that they will be without some of their top offensive linemen on Sunday.

Notably, Chase Roullier doesn’t look ready to go on Sunday. The center is still dealing with a hand injury and the team is probably not looking to rush him back. Additionally, Morgan Moses and Trent Williams are both questionable for the contest. Moses is dealing with a high ankle sprain, and he likely won’t be 100 percent.

For Williams, his status is truly questionable. The veteran left tackle has been playing through multiple knee injuries this year. Per ESPN’s John Keim, Williams participated in individual drills on Friday but sat for the rest of practice. This has been a normal occurrence, but given that this game likely will have no impact on the Redskins season, he could opt to sit if he’s not feeling up to it.

That could cause some serious issues for the Redskins. The Chargers have one of the league’s best pass rushing tandems. Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa are two of the best edge rushers in the league with Bosa being a particularly good young player. If Moses and Williams don’t play or are limited, it could be hard for the Redskins to compensate and help keep Kirk Cousins upright. That would hurt their chances of winning.

No matter what happens, the Chargers are going to get pressure and a lot of it. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see Ingram and Bosa each notch multiple sacks. They should get at least four on Sunday to really make the Redskins lives difficult.
