The Chargers’ off week was moved on Sunday from mid-November to Week 6, which begins immediately after their game Monday in New Orleans.

The change was one of several announced by the NFL as it reshuffled schedules because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Also, the Chargers’ home game against Jacksonville was moved from Week 8 to Week 7, and their home game against the New York Jets was switched from Week 6 to Week 11.
