However, Mack was forced to leave the game early following a nasty collision when he collided with team-mate Troy Dye when attempting to make a tackle on Tre Tucker.

The linebacker saw his arm get sandwiched between them, which inverted his elbow.

There were fears Mack’s injury could be season ending.

But the Chargers have been dealt some good news after his injury timeline was revealed.

Mack is expected to return in a few weeks, as reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, and will miss at least the next four games.

On Wednesday head coach Jim Harbaugh announced Mack would be placed on injured reserve.

However, Harbaugh refused to specify the details of the knock.

He told reporters: “He’s like the Wolverine.

“One of the toughest things I’ve ever seen.”

Mack signed an $18milion, one-year deal with the Chargers in March.

He had been contemplating retirement following the 2024/25 season, but chose to head to LA instead.

Mack played college football for the Buffalo Bulls and was the fifth overall pick for the Oakland Raiders in the 2014 NFL draft.

He left the Raiders in 2017 before joining the Chicago Bears from 2018-21.

He then joined the Chargers in 2022.

Mack named the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year in 2016.

He is also a four-time First-team All Pro.
