He had a career-high 91 yards last week. Kendricks, the Chargers' biggest addition during the offseason, had seven tackles and played all 67 snaps against the Dolphins. Kenneth Murray will have the helmet to receive defensive calls from the sideline with Kendricks out.

Skoronski, the 11th pick overall out of Northwestern in April's draft, played all 63 offensive snaps in last Sunday's 16-15 loss at New Orleans. Either Xavier Newman-Johnson, Corey Levin or Dillon Radunz will start in place of Skoronski.Los Angeles activated linebacker Brevin Allen and safety Dean Marlowe from the practice squad for Sunday's game.
