Rumph is a third-year linebacker the Chargers selected in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He is an important depth piece on the defense, playing 103 snaps at outside linebacker this season, and a key special teams contributor, playing 65% of the Chargers’ special teams plays.

With this latest Chargers injury update, the team will likely have to promote a player from the practice squad or sign someone to take Rumph’s spot. He was behind Joey Bosa, Khalil Mack, and rookie Tuli Tuipulotu at his position, but the two veteran stars ahead of him on the depth chart need rest at times and are no help on special teams.
