LAS VEGAS -- Los Angeles Chargers outside linebacker Khalil Mack was ruled out of Monday night's 20-9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders after sustaining an elbow injury in the first quarter that appeared to leave him in significant pain.
Mack attempted a tackle in the first quarter when his hand was caught between Chargers linebacker Troy Dye and Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker, turning his elbow into an awkward position.
Mack jogged off the field holding his left hand, stopped on the sideline and bent over in pain before heading to the locker room.
Mack returned to the Chargers' sideline in the third quarter with his elbow in medical wrapping and in a sling.
Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh didn't have an update on Mack after the game, saying only that he would undergo imaging tests and the team will "see where that takes us."
Mack finished the game with one sack and one tackle in the quarter. Mack has 12.5 career sacks against Las Vegas -- where he played his first four seasons of his career -- all since 2021, the most by any player vs. a single opponent over that span.
