Chark was blocking on a play for James Robinson and offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor rolled into him from behind. Chark sunk to the turf and was taken off on a cart. He was initially announced as questionable to return but downgraded to out not long after.

Chark was off to a mild start this season. He has seven catches for 154 yards and two touchdowns in a contract year.
