Top Chargers News

  • Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Four grabs in loss to Rams

    Johnston caught all four of his targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Rams.

    Johnston's four grabs marked a new personal single-game high through six games this season. One of the least efficient wideouts in the league, Johnston entered Sunday with just eight grabs for 165 yards on 22 targets. He hasn't been playable in fantasy football for weeks and will square off with a stingy Houston secondary in Week 9.

  • Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Five snags in defeat

    Gadsden caught all five of his targets for 52 yards during Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Rams.

    Gadsden was able to lead the team in catches while he finished with one fewer target than team leader Ladd McConkey. The tight end has now reeled in at least three passes for the second straight game and third time over the last four contests after having failed to do so in any of the team's first three regular-season games. Gadsden and the rest of the Chargers will face a tough test in Week 9 against the Texans.

  • Chargers' Omarion Hampton: Nets just 27 scrimmage yards in loss

    Hampton rushed nine times for 20 yards and brought in two of three targets for seven yards in the Chargers' 24-9 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

    Hampton logged just one more carry than Kimani Vidal and five more than Keaton Mitchell, as the Chargers' ground game continued to resemble a committee scenario. Hampton now has 45 rushing yards or fewer in four straight games, and he's logged single-digit carries in three of those contests. The second-year back is averaging just 3.5 yards per carry behind an injury-hampered offensive line as well, leaving his outlook bleak for a Week 9 home matchup against an aggressive Texans defense next Sunday.

  • Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Team-high yardage total in loss

    McConkey brought in four of six targets for 86 yards in the Chargers' 24-9 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

    McConkey finally shook off the concussion that led to his exit from a Week 6 loss to the Chiefs during Week 8 prep, and despite the fact Tre' Harris was also back from a hamstring injury, the former still led the Chargers in receiving yards and targets. The yardage tally was also a season high for McConkey, who is averaging a career-best 16.8 yards per reception on his 17 catches to date. Los Angeles' air attack showed some improvement Sunday following some retooling during the Week 7 bye, and McConkey figures to remain the top target on the winless Bolts in a Week 9 home matchup against the Texans next Sunday.

  • Chargers' Justin Herbert: Struggles continue coming out of bye

    Herbert completed 24 of 32 passes for 257 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing four times for 15 yards in the Chargers' 24-9 loss to the Rams on Sunday. He also committed a fumble that remained with Los Angeles.

    The Chargers declined to move on from offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel during the Week 7 bye, and Herbert did finish with a season-high passing yardage total on a season-best 75.0 percent completion rate. However, Herbert failed to throw a touchdown pass for the second straight game while tossing multiple interceptions for the third time this season. Herbert still has just a 61.8 percent completion rate -- a career low by a fairly wide margin -- and a 5:10 TD:INT through seven games as the winless Bolts try again for their first win in a Week 9 home matchup against the Texans next Sunday.

  • Chargers' Daiyan Henley: Back in action

    Henley (shoulder) has returned to Sunday's matchup versus the Rams, David Droegemeier of Locked On Chargers reports.

    Henley was briefly sidelined with a shoulder injury early in the first half, but he was able to return to the field before the break. The 26-year-old is back in his starting role at inside linebacker against the Rams.

  • Chargers' Daiyan Henley: Dealing with shoulder issue

    Henley (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Rams, Noah Furtado of The Athletic reports.

    Henley suffered a shoulder injury early in the second half, and his availability for the rest of the game is now up in the air. In his absence, Troy Dye and Marlowe Wax will stand to see an increase in workload at inside linebacker.

  • Chargers' Rodney Shelley: Inactive again Sunday

    Shelley (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.

    Shelley will miss another contest Sunday, so his next opportunity to get back on the field will come in Week 9 against the Texans. With Donte Jackson (hamstring) ruled out, Tarheeb Still could be more involved.

  • Chargers' Donte Jackson: Inactive versus Rams

    Jackson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.

    Jackson will miss his third consecutive game Sunday, meaning his next opportunity to play will come in Week 9 versus the Texans. With Rodney Shelley (ankle) also sidelined, Tarheeb Still is projected to be more involved.

  • Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Active in Week 8

    Gadsden is active for Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Rams.

    The second-year tight end has had a relatively quiet first season to date in coordinator Mike McDaniel's offense, posting a 12-103-1 line on 21 targets through six games. Gadsden did get back on the Chargers' offense's radar before the Week 7 bye, recording three receptions for 17 yards on five targets over 33 snaps in Week 6 against the Chiefs after being blanked over 39 plays in Week 5 against the Broncos. It remains to be seen if Los Angeles, which declined to make a change at playcaller during the bye, cooked up some improvements during the idle week, and if Gadsden will be more involved moving forward after flashing plenty of upside as a rookie in 2025 with a 49-664-3 line across 15 regular-season contests.

  • Chargers' Derwin James: Moved to IR

    The Chargers placed James (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday.

    James missed the Chargers' three games prior to the Week 7 bye due to a hamstring injury. He suffered a setback in his recovery during Week 8 prep, which will require a stint on IR for the veteran safety. James is required to be sidelined for at least four games, so the earliest he can return is Week 12 against the Patriots on Sunday, Nov. 29. Tony Jefferson will continue to operate in an elevated role in the secondary in James' absence.
