Tucker Fisk TE | LAC
Chargers' Tucker Fisk: Placed on injured reserve
The Chargers placed Fisk (ankle) on injured reserve Monday.
Fisk was already ruled out for Monday night's game against the Eagles due to an ankle injury, which is severe enough for him to warrant a stint on injured reserve. He'll be required to miss at least four games, which means Week 18 against the Broncos on Sunday, Jan. 4 is the earliest he can return. With Fisk on IR and Tyler Conklin (coach's decision) a healthy inactive for Week 14, the Chargers will go with two tight ends on the active roster Monday in Will Dissly and rookie fifth-rounder Oronde Gadsden.

Ray Davis RB | BUF
Bills' Ray Davis: Reverts to kick-return duties
Davis didn't record a carry or target during Sunday's 39-34 win over the Bengals but returned four kickoffs for 84 yards.
Davis rushed for a season-high 62 yards on nine carries during the Bills' Week 13 win over the Steelers. However, he saw the field for 10 total snaps Sunday (four on offense, six on special teams), and the only time he touched the ball was on kickoffs as a returner. Ty Johnson, in contrast, played 16 snaps on offense and finished with two carries for 25 yards and two catches (on three targets) for 14 yards. Davis and Johnson both worked behind James Cook out of the backfield, and that trend should continue in this Sunday's AFC East tilt against the Patriots.

Sam Howell QB | DAL
Eagles' Sam Howell: Operating as emergency QB
Howell (coach's decision) is inactive but operating as the Eagles' emergency third quarterback for Monday night's contest against the Chargers.
Howell is set to serve as the team's No. 3 option at QB behind starter Jalen Hurts and backup Tanner McKee, a role he's operated in throughout the season. Howell has yet to appear in a regular-season game, and both Hurts and McKee would have to be sidelined for him to do so in Week 14.

Tyler Conklin TE | DET
Chargers' Tyler Conklin: Unavailable for MNF
Conklin (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's matchup with the Eagles, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Conklin will be a healthy scratch for the first time this season after he combined to log just two offensive snaps over the team's last two games. Oronde Gadsden and Will Dissly will handle all the work at tight end against Philadelphia.

Marcus Epps SAF | PHI
Eagles' Marcus Epps: Activated from IR
Epps (shoulder) was activated from injured reserve by the Eagles and is active for Monday night's game against the Chargers.
Epps will make his return to action Monday night against the Chargers following a four-game absence with a shoulder issue. The 29-year-old will be back in his role as a top reserve option behind Reed Blankenship and Sydney Brown at safety versus Los Angeles.

Dalevon Campbell WR | LAC
Chargers' Dalevon Campbell: Elevated from PS, inactive for MNF
The Chargers elevated Campbell (coach's decision) from the practice squad to the active roster, but he is inactive for Monday night's game against the Eagles.
Campbell joined the Chargers' practice squad in mid-October after being waived from injured reserve by the Panthers. Monday was his first elevation to the 53-man roster, but he'll be a healthy inactive as the Chargers go with five active wide receivers in Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, Keenan Allen, Tre' Harris and Derius Davis.

Otito Ogbonnia DT | DAL
Chargers' Otito Ogbonnia: Activated from IR, playing Monday
The Chargers activated Ogbonnia (elbow) from injured reserve, and he is active for Monday night's game against the Eagles, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Ogbonnia has been officially cleared to return Monday from a five-game absence due to an elbow injury, and he'll join Scott Matlock as the Chargers' rotational options at defensive end behind starters Justin Eboigbe and Da'Shawn Hand. Ogbonnia logged one solo tackle across the four regular-season games prior to his placement on IR in late October.

Hassan Haskins RB | LAC
Chargers' Hassan Haskins: Officially active for MNF
Haskins (hamstring) is active for Monday night's game against the Eagles, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Haskins and rookie running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) were activated from injured reserve earlier Monday, and both will join Kimani Vidal on the active roster for Week 14. In the seven regular-season games prior to his hamstring injury, Haskins turned 12 carries into 30 yards, caught four passes (on as many targets) for 13 yards and 141 kickoff-return yards on six attempts.

Kimani Vidal RB | LAC
Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Joined in backfield by Hampton
In Monday night's game against the Eagles, Vidal is in line to work in a Chargers backfield that will welcome Omarion Hampton (ankle) back from IR, per Eric Smith of the team's official site.
It remains to be seen how heavy of a workload Hampton sees in his return, but his presence is destined to impact Vidal's volume going forward. In nine games to date, including seven as a starter after Hampton was injured Week 5, Vidal has logged 121 carries for 543 yards and three TDs to go along with 13 catches (on 17 targets) for 63 yards and another score. Either way, Monday night's snap counts and carry/target distribution will be telling with regard to Vidal's chances of maintaining a degree of fantasy utility down the stretch, with Hampton now back to reclaim his key role in the Chargers backfield.

Omarion Hampton RB | LAC
Chargers' Omarion Hampton: Active versus Eagles
Hampton (ankle) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Eagles, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Hampton, who suffered a left ankle fracture Week 5 and was officially activated from IR on Monday, thus is slated to rejoin a Chargers backfield that was led by Kimani Vidal in his absence, with Hassan Haskins also available in a reserve capacity. Prior to his injury, Hampton had emerged as a key cog in the team's offense, so look for the 2025 first-rounder -- who logged 66 carries for 314 yards and two TDs and caught 20 of his 22 targets for 126 yards in five games prior to his injury -- to get his share of touches versus Philadelphia while working in tandem with Vidal.
