What It Means:

Verrett is holding out hope it's not severe enough to cost him games, or the rest of the season, but this is obviously a major concern. Verrett shut down top receivers Jeremy Maclin and Allen Robinson in Weeks 1 and 2, but got schooled by T.Y. Hilton in Week 3. Verrett says the knee has been an issue the past two games.

The Chargers defense ranks 10th by schedule-adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points per play through four weeks. Losing Verrett will be a big blow to them.
