Chargers K Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) to miss 2-4 weeks

Oct 18, 2022

Kicker Dustin Hopkins was able to finish Monday night’s win over the Broncos despite suffering a hamstring injury in the first half.

But he’s going to be out for a while.

Via Lindsey Thiry of ESPN, head coach Brandon Staley said Tuesday that Hopkins will be out for two-to-four weeks with a hamstring strain.

Hopkins hit four field goals after his hamstring injury was announced during the second quarter, including the game-winner from 39-yards out in overtime. The Chargers have Bertolet on their practice squad, who made all three of his field goals and all three extra points in last Sunday’s victory over Cleveland.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
