Chargers vs. Patriots injury report and starting lineup - October 31 | NFL Week 8

Two of the NFL's most exciting young quarterbacks will go head-to-head when the New England Patriots travel to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on Sunday to take on the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Chargers' second-year quarterback Justin Herbert, who won the Rookie of the Year award last season, is putting together another strong campaign in his second season.

The Patriots' rookie quarterback Mac Jones has been thoroughly impressive so far in his young NFL career. The former Alabama star's accuracy and execution have stood out.

The two young guns will be fit for the Week 8 clash between their sides, but what about the rest of the teams? Here's the injury report and starting lineup for the Chargers vs. Patriots:

Los Angeles Chargers

Player	Position	Injury	Game Status
Drue Tranquill	LB	Chest	Questionable

The Chargers only have two players listed as questionable, but they will be sweating about the health of running back Austin Ekeler (hip), who has been crucial to their success this season.

New England Patriots

Player	Position	Injury	Game Status
David Andrews	C	Ankle	Questionable
Ja'Whaun Bentley	LB	Ribs	Questionable

Shaun Wade	CB	Concussion	Questionable
Deatrich Wise Jr.	DL	Knee	Questionable
Carl Davis	DL	Hand	Questionable
Brandon King	LB	Thigh	Out

The Patriots' injury report, like always, is extensive. Head coach Bill Belichick purposely keeps opposition coaches guessing about the health of his key players. The team has listed only one player as out for the game against the Chargers, linebacker Brandon King (thigh).

Wide receiver Kendrick Bourne (shoulder) is questionable and the Patriots will be hoping that he can shake off his injury concerns and play Sunday.
