Mack logged three tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a forced fumble in the Chargers' win over the Steelers on Sunday. Mack was one of Los Angeles' three defenders to sack Aaron Rodgers in the win. The 2014 first-round pick is off to a strong start this season despite missing four games with an elbow injury, as he's racked up 11 tackles (nine solo), including 4.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles across just six outings.

Mack recorded two tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Thursday's 37-10 win versus the Vikings. Mack brought down quarterback Carson Wentz in the middle of the third quarter to force a Minnesota punt, and he now has a sack in each of the last three games he's played in. He projects to get more opportunities to rush the passer in Week 9 against a pass-dependent Tennessee attack.

Mack (elbow) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts. Mack was activated off injured reserve Saturday, and the veteran edge rusher has been cleared to return from a four-game absence. His return means there will be less snaps on defense to go around for Bud Dupree, Odafe Oweh and rookie fourth-rounder Kyle Kennard.

The Chargers designated Mack (elbow) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Eric Smith of the team's official site reports. Mack suffered an elbow injury during the Chargers' Week 2 win against the Raiders, which was severe enough for him to be placed on injured reserve. The veteran edge rusher has missed the minimum four games required while on IR and he has progressed enough in his recovery to be cleared to return to practice. Mack's level of participation in practice in the coming week will determine whether he will be given the green light to play against the Colts on Sunday.

The Chargers placed Mack (elbow) on injured reserve Wednesday. Mack has at least avoided a season-ending injury, with Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reporting that the veteran edge rusher suffered a dislocated elbow in Monday night's 20-9 win over the Raiders but is expected to miss only a few weeks. He'll be forced to sit out at least four games due to being placed on IR, making Week 7 against the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 19 the earliest possible date for Mack's return. Until Mack is back in action, Bud Dupree is expected to step into a starting role opposite Tuli Tuipulotu.
