  • Chargers' Khalil Mack: Staying put on restructured deal

    Mack has agreed to a restructured contract that will keep him with the Chargers in 2024, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Los Angeles was considering moving Mack after a 17.0-sack 2023 season to free up cap space, but a restructure proved sufficient to create enough wiggle room after the Chargers saved $20 million against the cap Wednesday by releasing Mike Williams (knee). Mack's prolific production in 2023 suggests that the 2016 NFL DPOY still has plenty left in the tank heading into his age-33 campaign.

  • Chargers' Khalil Mack: Yet another multi-sack performance

    Mack recorded five tackles (five solo),, including two sacks and a forced fumble in Sunday's 6-0 win at New England. Mack managed to post two sacks for the fourth time in his last five games in Week 13, bringing his season total up to 15.0 (which ties his career high from 2015 with the Raiders). He's the league leader in sacks heading into a Week 14 matchup versus the Broncos.

  • Chargers' Khalil Mack: Eclipses 10 sacks on season

    Mack recorded eight tackles (eight solo) including two sacks and a forced fumble in Sunday's 23-20 loss at Green Bay. Mack secured the fifth double-digit sack season of his career in the middle of the third quarter, and he tacked on another sack for good measure to log his third multi-sack game of the year. With 11.0 sacks to date, he's actually on pace for a career season in that department, making him a good IDP option wherever he's defensive-lineman eligible.

  • Chargers' Khalil Mack: Two sacks in win

    Mack recorded five tackles (three solo), including two sacks, while deflecting a pass and forcing a fumble in Monday night's 27-6 win over the Jets. Mack was able to get back into the sack column after going two weeks without a quarterback takedown, bringing down Zach Wilson twice, stripping him once. The linebacker is now up to 30 tackles, including nine sacks, while also deflecting three passes and forcing three fumbles over eight games this season.

  • Chargers' Khalil Mack: Leads team in sacks

    Mack recorded 50 tackles (33 solo), eight sacks, an additional four tackles for loss, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 17 games in the 2022-23 season. In his first season with the Chargers, Mack led the team in both sacks and total tackles for loss. However, the 2016 Defensive Player of the Year failed to record double-digit sacks for the fourth straight season. While Mack may not be as dominant as he was earlier in his career, he is still a force to be reckoned with coming off the edge.

  • Chargers' Khalil Mack: Making progress after surgery

    Mack (foot) did some individual drills at June minicamp, the Chargers' official website reports. Chargers coach Brandon Staley didn't comment on expectations for training camp but did suggest Mack is on track to play Week 1, while Mack himself said he should be ready for the start of camp, per TSN. The 31-year-old pass rusher was traded for second- and sixth-round picks this offseason, netting the Bears a solid return even after his foot surgery in late November. Mack did have six sacks in seven games last year, and a return to top form or something near it could give the Chargers the best edge-rushing duo in the league between him and Joey Bosa. Staley noted that Mack has been quick to pick things up this offseason, having previously played in a similar defense for the Bears in 2018 under Vic Fangio, when Staley served as LBs coach.

  • Bears' Khalil Mack: Not playing Monday

    Mack (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game at Pittsburgh. Mack suffered a foot injury Week 3 but was able to power through it four four consecutive contests. Notably, he also put together a five-game stretch in which he recorded at least one sack per game Weeks 2 through 6. But he'll now take a seat for a second straight outing, which may be intentional decision by the Bears with a Week 10 bye on tap. Mack's next chance to play will arrive Sunday, Nov. 21 against the Ravens.

  • Bears' Khalil Mack: DNP on Thursday

    Mack (foot) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice. The 30-year-old was inactive for what was the Bears' first practice of the week, prior to meeting the Steelers on Monday night. Mack's absence comes as no surprise, as he has appeared on the injury report for many weeks now with the nagging foot injury. He missed the team's Week 8 matchup with the 49ers, his first missed contest of the year, and his status is worth monitoring in the coming days. If he can't go on MNF, Trevis Gipson will once again see an increased role on defense.

  • Bears' Khalil Mack: Questionable but hasn't practiced

    Mack (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers. Mack consistently has played through this injury since suffering it Week 3, but it's unnerving that he wasn't able to practice in any capacity throughout the week. He'll likely be a game-time decision Sunday as he looks to add to his season total of five sacks through five games.

  • Bears' Khalil Mack: Big game against former team

    Mack notched a sack and eight tackles in the Bears' 20-9 win over the Raiders on Sunday. Mack has now tallied five sacks over his last four games, and this was the first time he recorded more than two tackles in a game this season. Despite the excellent fantasy performance, his fantasy value will likely continue to be reliant upon sacks.

  • Bears' Khalil Mack: Strong outing

    Mack recovered a fumble while recording a sack and a tackle in the Bears' 24-14 win over the Lions on Sunday. Mack has now posted four sacks over the last three games, but with just six tackles to date, he's looking like an IDP who'll remain dependent upon sacks for his production.

  • Bears' Khalil Mack: Trending up but questionable

    Mack (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions. Mack finally got in a limited practice Friday after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday, giving him some hope of being able to suit up come game day. The standout pass rusher was in and out of the game against the Browns in Week 3 but still managed to notch two sacks, bringing his season total to three in as many games.

  • Bears' Khalil Mack: Returns to Sunday's contest

    Mack (foot) returned to Sunday's contest, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports. Mack appeared to hurt his foot in the first half, but he was back on the field to start the second half. The Bears avoided a big blow, as the star defensive end has been a key piece for their defense since being acquired via trade from the Raiders.

  • Bears' Khalil Mack: Questionable to return

    Mack (foot) is questionable to return Sunday against the Browns, according to Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic. Mack is back on the Bears' sideline, and it looks like they're going to be taping his ankle/foot. Right now it's unclear whether he'll return to the gridiron, but his potential absence would be a huge blow for the Bears defensively.

  • Bears' Khalil Mack: Notches sack

    Mack collected a sack and two tackles in the Bears' 20-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday. For the second week in a row, Mack had two or fewer tackles, but he was able to tally his first sack of the campaign. After posting between 47 and 50 tackles in each of the last three seasons, if he doesn't boost his tackle totals soon, his fantasy scoring floor could be lower than it has been at any time in his career.

  • Bears' Khalil Mack: Ready for Week 17

    Mack (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers. The 29-year-old has been battling the shoulder injury since early December, though he has yet to miss a game this season. Mack has only 16 tackles (nine solo), 1.5 sacks, one interception and one forced fumble over his past seven games.

  • Bears' Khalil Mack: Cleared for showdown in Minnesota

    Mack (shoulder) is active Week 15 against the Vikings. While Mack missed a bit of practice time this week, there never appeared to be much concern he would miss this must-win divisional tilt. Mack is coming off a two-tackle, one-sack performance last week, and had three tackles and an interception when he last faced the Vikings in Week 10.

  • Bears' Khalil Mack: Dominant outing

    Mack registered a safety, a sack, two tackles and a recovered fumble in Chicago's 36-7 win over the Texans on Sunday. After notching 6.5 sacks over the first eight games of the season, these were the first two sacks he's recorded in five games, and his lack of consistent tackles gives him a very low weekly scoring floor in IDP leagues.

  • Bears' Khalil Mack: Gets green light to face Texans

    Mack (shoulder) has been deemed active for Sunday's game against Houston. The three-time All-Pro battled through a back issue to suit up last Sunday against the Lions, ultimately fielding 81 percent of the defensive workload in a losing effort. A shoulder injury kept him out of practice Wednesday and Thursday, but partial participation from the 29-year-old Friday signaled he would have a chance to face Houston. Mack has sustained a high level of play this season overall, as he currently leads the NFC in Pro Bowl voting among outside linebackers. He does, however, carry a four-game sack drought into Week 14.

  • Bears' Khalil Mack: Dealing with new injury

    Mack (shoulder) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice. Mack has manged his practice reps during the season due to a back issue, as he seems to be dealing with a new injury. Per Adam Jahns of The Athletic, Mack is classified as day-to-day, so the issue doesn't appear to be too serious. Mack's participation level at practice during the rest of the week will be a better indicator of his chances to play Sunday against the Texans.
