NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Khalil Mack, veteran edge rusher for the Chargers, is once again uncertain about playing in the 2025 season following the team's recent playoff loss to the Patriots.
- Mack signed a one-year deal last season, recording 5.5 sacks and helping the Chargers reach the postseason before their recent defeat.
- He emphasized the importance of making his future decision based on how he and his family feel, rather than on emotions following a tough loss.
- Mack highlighted the challenge of assessing how much time he has left to play at a high level and plans to take time before deciding.
- His potential departure would create a significant gap in the Chargers' defense, as he contributes not only to pass rushing but also run defense.
