Essang Bassey - Set to miss time with hamstringBassey is expected to be sidelined for some time with a hamstring issue, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

ImpactThough the severity of Bassey's hamstring injury remains unclear, it sounds like he'll need some time off to fully recover. In five games played for the Broncos in 2022, the 24-year-old collected just three tackles in that stretch. In Bassey's absence, Patrick Surtain and K'Waun Williams should continue operating with their usual starting roles, while Darius Phillips, Damarri Mathis and Michael Ojemudia could see more rotational snaps throughout Denver's secondary for the time being.

Keenan Allen - On pace to fully practice this weekAllen (hamstring) remains on pace to return to full practice ahead of Sunday's matchup against Seattle, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

ImpactAllen returned to practice in a limited fashion ahead of Week 6 but was ultimately ruled out for a fifth consecutive contest. Given his lengthy absence, the Chargers will likely remain cautious with Allen and may even put him on a snap limit during his first game back.

Dustin Hopkins - Out 2-to-4 weeks, per HCChargers head coach Brandon Staley said Tuesday that Hopkins (hamstring) will be out 2-to-4 weeks, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

ImpactHopkins remained in Monday's game after initially suffering a hamstring injury on his first kick of the contest and ended up connecting on four field goals, including a game-winning 39-yarder in overtime. It's unclear if staying in the game made the hamstring issue worse, but the Chargers may not have come away with a victory without Hopkins' persevering performance. In Hopkins' absence, Los Angeles is expected to promote Taylor Bertolet from its practice squad to serve as the primary kicker against Seattle.

Donald Parham Jr. - Suffers concussion MondayChargers head coach Brandon Staley said Tuesday that Parham is in concussion protocols, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

ImpactParham caught all three of his targets for 53 yards during Monday's overtime win, but he immediately took his helmet off and went to the sideline after his third and final catch, which is presumably when he suffered the concussion. His status for Week 7 remains unclear, but he'll likely have to log at least one full practice if he's going to suit up Sunday against the Seahawks.
