Chargers' Eric Tomlinson: Records first reception of season
Tomlinson recorded a seven-yard reception on his lone target and played 22 of the Chargers' 66 snaps on offense in Monday's 17-15 loss to the Cardinals.
With Hayden Hurst (groin) sitting out Monday after missing most of the Chargers' Week 6 win over the Broncos, Tomlinson served as the No. 2 tight end behind Will Dissly for a second straight contest. Tomlinson ran routes on just six of Justin Herbert's 42 dropbacks, instead served mainly as a pass and run blocker during his time on the field. He'll see his playing time take a hit if Hurst is able to make it back for Sunday's game agains the Saints.

Broncos' Eric Tomlinson: Two touchdowns in 2022
Tomlinson caught nine of 13 targets for 79 yards and two touchdowns while playing all 17 games of the 2022 season.
Known mostly for his skills as a blocker, Tomlinson operated in a depth role at tight end and saw just 13 targets across 17 games. With that said, he was surprisingly tied for second on the Broncos with two receiving touchdowns. The veteran played at least 50 percent of offensive snaps just once during the 2022 campaign, as rookie Greg Dulcich eventually stepped up as the leader of Denver's tight end corps for most of the season. Tomlinson is set to be a free agent this offseason, so the 30-year-old will likely audition for a spot on the roster with a new coaching staff in the coming months. Nonetheless, Tomlinson's skills as a blocker will likely help him secure his next contract, even if the Broncos decide to move on.
