• Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Lays goose egg in WC loss

  01/12/2025 • By RotoWire

  Johnston (thigh) failed to bring in any of his five targets in Saturday's 32-12 playoff loss Houston. Johnston entered the wild-card round loss carrying a questionable tag, but he showed no limitations from the thigh injury while running routes. The 23-year-old's playoff debut was instead plagued by his hands after he suffered multiple drops en route to a zero-catch performance. Saturday's dud comes on the heels of Johnston's best game of his career in Week 18 against the Raiders (13-186-0). The inconsistent sophomore finished the regular season with a 55-711-8 receiving line across 15 games for the Chargers.

• Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Active for playoff opener

  01/11/2025 • By RotoWire

  Johnston (thigh) is active for Saturday's wild-card game in Houston. Johnston sandwiched limited practices around a DNP on Wednesday due to a thigh issue and was given a questionable designation for the Chargers' postseason opener. Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reported Friday that Johnston was expected to play Saturday, which now has been confirmed. As a result, Johnston will team up with Ladd McConkey at wide receiver and look to build upon the 13-186-0 outburst he produced on 14 targets last Sunday at Las Vegas.

  Johnston (thigh/illness), who is listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card round game against the Texans, is "good to go" for the contest, a source tells Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Johnston logged a limited practice Tuesday and a DNP on Wednesday before returning to a limited session Thursday. Based on Fowler's report, the wideout (who put up a career-best 13-186-0 line on 14 targets in the Chargers' Week 18 win over the Raiders) is on track to be available for Saturday's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff, with official confirmation of his status, either way, set to arrive once Los Angeles' inactives are posted.

• Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Takes questionable tag into weekend

  01/09/2025 • By RotoWire

  Johnston (thigh/illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card game against the Texans. After producing a career-best 13-186-0 receiving line on 14 targets in the Chargers' Week 18 win over the Raiders, Johnston has been tending to a pair of health concerns that have kept him out of one practice and limited him in two others leading up to the playoff opener. Head coach Jim Harbaugh hasn't shed much light on the severity of the thigh injury or illness, but Johnston's status will now be worth keeping close tabs on leading up to Saturday's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff. With the Chargers ruling out Joshua Palmer (foot) for the wild-card game, DJ Chark and Derius Davis would be next in line to take on more reps behind No. 1 wideout Ladd McConkey if Johnston is unable to play.

• Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Misses practice Wednesday

  01/08/2025 • By RotoWire

  Johnston didn't practice Wednesday due to a thigh injury and an illness. Johnston was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice due to the thigh issue, but an illness has since been attached to his name on the Chargers' injury report and was cited as a reason for his absence Wednesday. The Chargers will hold their final practice of the week Thursday, which will help determine the statuses of both Johnston and fellow wideout Joshua Palmer (foot) heading into Saturday's playoff opener against the Texans. Palmer sat out the Chargers' Week 18 win over the Raiders and has yet to practice this week.
