With Linsley out, Will Clapp will be the starting center this weekend.

Additionally, they are likely going to be without Austin Ekeler (ankle), Derwin James (hamstring) and Deane Leonard (hamstring/toe), who are listed as doubtful.

This marks the third straight game that Ekeler will miss. Joshua Kelley will resume the role as the primary running back, with Isaiah Spiller and Elijah Dotson serving as the complementary backs.

Without Woods and James, the safety room is thin. Alohi Gilman is questionable with a heel injury. Dean Marlowe and AJ Finley will likely be promoted from the practice squad.

Joey Bosa (hamstring/toe) is also listed as questionable. Rookie Tuli Tuipulotu should see an uptick in snaps.
