The Chargers worked out Okwuegbunam on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Okwuegbunam has been busy, working out with the Colts on Tuesday before having a workout with the Chargers on Friday. The Missouri product's most recent in-game action came in 2023 with the Eagles, when he appeared in four contests and didn't haul in his lone target across 55 offensive snaps. Okwuegbunam could find work with the Chargers' practice squad if Friday's tryout goes well.

Okwuegbunam had a tryout with the Colts on Tuesday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports. Okwuegbunam spent most of the season on the Eagles' injured reserve list after having a core muscle procedure in late August. After his 21-day window was opened Oct. 16, the team took a decision on bringing him back to the active roster down to the wire before cutting him loose Nov. 5. With a tryout under his belt with another organization, though, he's presumably back to full health.

The Eagles cut Okwuegbunam (abdomen) on Tuesday. Okwuegbunam began the regular season on injured reserve after undergoing a core muscle repair procedure at the conclusion of training camp. His 21-day practice window opened Oct. 16, and he was close to being activated off IR as he was able to log full practices leading up to Week 9 against the Jaguars. The 2020 fourth-round pick could stick around in Philadelphia on the practice squad or look to catch on with another team in need of depth at tight end.

Okwuegbunam (abdomen) has not been activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, per the NFL's transaction log. Okwuegbunam started the regular season on injured reserve after undergoing a core muscle repair procedure at the end of training camp. His 21-day practice window to return from IR opened Oct. 16, and while he doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game, he will be sidelined for that contest. Okwuegbunam will need to be activated off IR leading up to Week 10 against the Cowboys, otherwise he'll be forced to sit for the entire 2024 regular season, per Anthony DiBona of Philly Sports Network.

Okwuegbunam (abdomen) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's matchup with the Jaguars. Okwuegbunam logged three full practices this week as he closes in on the end of his 21-day practice window, which expires on Nov. 6. The tight end needs to be activated from injured reserve by that date or he'll remain sidelined for the remainder of the season. Considering his participation level this week, he has a good shot of making his 2024 debut against Jacksonville in Week 9.
