Los Angeles Chargers vs Kansas City Chiefs injury report and starting lineup - 2022 NFL season Week 2

Week 2 of the NFL season is upon us as the Los Angeles Chargers and the Kansas City Chiefs meet in a tough AFC West division battle. The Chargers took care of the Las Vegas Raiders 24-19 last week, while Patrick Mahomes threw for five touchdowns in the 44-21 blowout of the Cardinals.

This week's game promises to be a tight affair with both offenses locked and loaded and ready to put up points at will. Last year, the Chargers missed out on a playoff berth thanks to the Raiders, while the Chiefs were undone by Joe Burrow and the Bengals in the AFC Championship game.

Here's a look at the injury report for Los Angeles and Kansas City heading into Week 2 of the NFL season.

NFL Week 2 Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs Injury Report

Los Angeles Chargers

Player	Position	Injury	Game status

Donald Parham, Jr.	TE	Hamstring	Out

Kansas City Chiefs

Player	Position	Injury	Game status
Harrison Butker	K	Ankle	Out
Trey Smith	G	Ankle	Questionable

Kansas City coped well with the loss of Butker last week and it looks like Tommy Townsend will get kicking duties. It did not seem to bother them last week as they still put up 44 points against a disappointing Cardinals outfit.

For the Chargers, it was a good win over the Raiders as Justin Herbert threw for three touchdowns and 279 yards. He will be without Keenan Allen due to a hamstring injury.
