Atlanta will play Sunday night without its veteran edge rusher, who has concussion and neck injuries, and lost a linebacker to injured reserve on the eve of Baltimore's visit.
The Chargers coach rejected any change after the loss in Seattle, and Justin Herbert backed his play-caller as the offense keeps stalling early in games.
Emanuel Wilson scored twice in his first start as Seattle built a 27–6 lead, and Uchenna Nwosu’s strip-sack ended a late Los Angeles comeback.
