COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Chargers will be without offensive right tackle Bryan Bulaga for Thursday night's game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Bulaga suffered a concussion during the first quarter last Sunday against Atlanta and remains in concussion protocol. The 11-year veteran was one of the team's big signings during free agency, but will miss his fifth game because of various injuries.

Storm Norton is likely to start in Bulaga's place. Los Angeles has also ruled out linebacker Emeke Egbule because of illness.

Safety Nasir Adderley (shoulder) and linebacker Denzel Perryman (back) are doubtful while wide receivers Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (back), running back Austin Ekeler (quadricep) and defensive end Uchenna Nwosu (back, shoulder) have been designated as questionable.

The Chargers (4-9) go into Thursday's game with nine straight losses in AFC West games. They held walkthroughs instead of practices because of the short week.
