The San Diego Chargers will welcome the Jacksonville Jaguars to town on Sunday. Here is the list of inactive players for each team.

The San Diego Chargers and Jacksonville Jaguars both took a loss in Week 1, though they each played better than expected. The Chargers actually got out to a 24-3 lead against the Kansas City Chiefs, before losing their star wide receiver before halftime, and then the game in overtime. Jacksonville put up a nice fight against the Green Bay Packers, but their final drive fell short.

On Sunday, these two teams will go head to head in an AFC showdown in San Diego. For the Chargers, they will once again be without their best wide receiver, as Keenan Allen tore his ACL in Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The injury happened right before halftime, with the Chargers up 21-3, and was basically the end of the day for the San Diego offense. The Chiefs battled all the way back, tying the score late in the fourth quarter, before quarterback Alex Smith scored the game-winning on a two-yard run in overtime.

The Jaguars fought the Packers to the end, putting together an impressive drive at the end of the game. After converting on three fourth-down attempts, the Jaguars ran out of luck, as Allen Hurns could not find the first down marker. It was a solid game all around for Jacksonville, who many people believe could be a sleeper pick for the playoffs this season.

It should be an interesting matchup between the two teams, who are both looking for their first win of the season. There are some key players missing, including the Chargers 2016 first-round draft selection Joey Bosa, so keep an eye on how that affects the San Diego defense in Week 2.

Even though they are traveling across the country, the Jaguars should be able to pick up the win on Sunday. The loss of Keenan Allen is going to hurt, especially the first week without him, so expect the San Diego offense to struggle at times. Bortles should be able to hit both of his star wideouts for touchdowns, as Jacksonville picks up their first win of the 2016 season.
