Sneed (quadriceps) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Sneed went to the locker room in the third quarter after sustaining a quad injury, and he'll be evaluated by trainers to determine whether he can return. Darrell Baker will likely take over at outside corner for as long as Sneed is out of the game.

Dye (thumb) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Dye was unable to practice all week due to a thumb injury, which is severe enough for him to miss his first game of the season. Dye has started in each of the Chargers' last five games, but the team will get a much-needed boost at inside linebacker with the return of veteran Denzel Perryman.

Perryman (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Perryman was a full participant in practice all week, which prompted the Chargers to activate the veteran linebacker from injured reserve Saturday. He missed the Chargers' last five games due to an ankle injury, but he has been cleared to return for Week 7 after going through pregame warmups. Perryman will return to a starting role at inside linebacker alongside Daiyan Henley while Marlowe Wax and Del'Shawn Phillips provide rotational depth.

Butler (back) officially has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Chiefs.

Butler suffered a back injury early in the first quarter of Sunday's game and after further examination, will not be able to return. Thomas Booker and Leki Fotu will both see more rotational snaps in place of the 31-year-old defensive tackle.

Mack (elbow) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Mack was activated off injured reserve Saturday, and the veteran edge rusher has been cleared to return from a four-game absence. His return means there will be less snaps on defense to go around for Bud Dupree, Odafe Oweh and rookie fourth-rounder Kyle Kennard.

Simmons has been downgraded to out after leaving Sunday's game with a hamstring injury, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

Simmons will not return to Sunday's game against New England as he tweaked his hamstring tackling Rhamondre Stevenson during the first quarter. The three-time Pro Bowler has started and played in every game this season, but was dealing with an ankle injury before last week's game against Las Vegas.

Waller is questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Browns due to a pectoral injury.

Waller did not record a reception before he was ruled questionable to return just before halftime, and it's unclear exactly when or how he was forced to exit. In the 33-year-old's absence, Julian Hill should fill in as Miami's TE1 for the time being.

Davis (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Davis was limited in practice all week, but he has been cleared to return from a three-game absence due to a knee injury. The 2023 fourth-rounder has mostly been used as a returner this season and should see most of his playing time Sunday on special teams.

Haskins (chest) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Haskins was an addition to the Chargers' injury report Thursday but was listed as a full participant at that day's practice. Though the running back followed that up with a full session Friday, he was still deemed questionable for Sunday's contest. With his active status confirmed, Haskins -- who had six carries and a catch in last week's win over Miami -- is available to work behind Kimani Vidal (who was the team's starter versus the Dolphins while recording 18 carries, three catches and a TD), with practice-squad elevation Nyheim Hines also on hand.

Crosby (knee/back) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Crosby suffered the injuries in the second quarter, and the veteran pass rusher is unlikely to be cleared to return to Sunday's game. If he is in fact done for the day, he'll finish with three tackles (one solo). Charles Snowden and Tyree Wilson will see more snaps on defense while Crosby is out of the game.
