Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer has been ruled out for the Monday night game against the New York Jets due to a knee injury. Palmer initially sustained the injury in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs and aggravated it in the following game against the Bears. Despite not practicing during the week, Palmer played in the game and finished it, but his injury has prevented him from participating in practice this week.

Palmer's absence is a blow to the Chargers' offense, as they are already without wide receiver Mike Williams for the season. This leaves Keenan Allen as the team's primary target, with rookie Quentin Johnston also expected to step up. Johnston had a solid performance in Week 9 with five catches for 50 yards, and this is an opportunity for him to prove himself.

In addition to Palmer, the Chargers have six players listed as questionable for the game against the Jets: Morgan Fox, Jalen Guyton, Sebastian Joseph-Day, Eric Kendricks, Kenneth Murray, and Otito Ogbonnia. The team's coaching staff will determine in the next 48 hours whether Guyton and Ogbonnia, who have yet to be activated off the PUP list, will be able to make their return on Monday night.
