DL Teair Tart
Tart continues his steady play along the interior of the defensive line.
The veteran defensive lineman has tallied 17 total tackles, six quarterback hits and two tackles for loss through eight games.
His 13 total pressures is also fourth on team and most among Chargers defensive linemen as he’s been able to make his presence felt when he is able to rush the passer.
But his stoutness against the run will be integral this week against the Ravens on Monday night.
Running back Derrick Henry continues to rank among the best of them in 2026, ranking seventh in the NFL with 689 rushing yards and tied for sixth with eight rushing touchdowns.
Henry is also fifth in the league with 560 rushing yards after contact on has been a difficult player to bring down in his career.
“All the tools and skills he has, strength, speed, vision,” Harbaugh said. “Patience, but the ability to hit a hole, the physicality he brings, elite.”
Tart, on the other hand, has been physical and a playmaker against the run in his own right, too.
He ranks in the top 20 among all defensive tackles with 12 run stops this year, a figure that leads all Chargers defensive linemen.
His four tackles for loss or no gain against the run are also tied for second-most on the Bolts.
It will be up to Tart, as well as every level of the Chargers defense, to try and defend the run against a Ravens offense that is up to fourth in the NFL in rushing with 137.8 yards a game.
