Chargers' Alex Erickson: Two more catches in loss
Erickson caught two of his five targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 13-12 loss to the Chiefs.
The 31-year-old joined the active roster Week 11 and, after injuries to Joshua Palmer (knee) and Keenan Allen (heel), somewhat miraculously emerged as the team's top target. finishing with 16 receptions for 232 yards, both of them higher figures than his past three seasons combined. It's safe to say the veteran wideout won't be a highly sought-after free agent despite the positive small sample size, but it's possible Erickson could at least make a preseason roster given his special teams acumen.

Chargers' Alex Erickson: Breaks out with 98 yards
Erickson made seven receptions on eight targets for 98 yards in Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Broncos.
A slew of injuries to the Chargers' receiving corps opened the door for Erickson to secure a bigger role on offense in recent weeks. The undrafted Wisconsin product took full advantage of that opportunity Sunday, when he finished as his team's leading receiver across the board. The Chargers aren't getting healthier anytime soon, so Erickson should have another opportunity to put his skills on display against the Chiefs in Week 18.

Chargers' Alex Erickson: Secures two catches in loss
Erickson caught both of his targets for 31 yards in the 24-22 loss to the Bills on Saturday.
It appears as if Erickson has overtaken Jalen Guyton as the team's No. 4 wideout, a role that has seen more work in the two-game absence of Keenan Allen (heel). Despite the increase in playing time, the 31-year-old did very little, tallying just his seventh total catch this season.

Chargers' Alex Erickson: One touchdown in blowout loss
Erickson caught one of his two targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in the 63-21 drubbing at the hands of the Raiders on Thursday.
For a fifth consecutive game, Erickson tallied just a single catch despite registering 13 targets combined over the past four games. The Chargers' passing attack could see some significant changes in the coming weeks with head coach Brandon Staley now gone, but it's hard to imagine the 31-year-old Erickson really benefitting with the team now essentially out of playoff contention.

Chargers' Alex Erickson: Fails to capitalize
Erickson brought in one of his seven targets for nine yards against the Broncos in Sunday's 24-7 loss.
With injury issues plaguing the Chargers receiving corps, Erickson has seen an increased involvement in the offense but has failed to record a game with more than one reception in his four appearances this season. The eye-popping target figure was matched by an equally shocking inefficiency, and it's not like the 31-year-old was targeted all that often deep, save for a shot early in the first half with Justin Herbert still healthy. Wide receiver Joshua Palmer (knee) could return to action this week, which would relegate Erickson further down the depth chart, and the offense as a whole looks far less enticing with Herbert (finger) now done for the season.

Chargers' Alex Erickson: Signs with active roster
The Chargers signed Erickson to their active roster Saturday.
Erickson is joining Los Angeles' active roster for the third consecutive week. This move likely comes to ensure depth at wide receiver, as both Mike Williams (knee) and Joshua Palmer (knee) remain on injured reserve. In Erickson's two appearances this season, the Wisconsin product has caught two of his four targets for 29 yards.

Chargers' Alex Erickson: Moves back to practice squad
Erickson reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Erickson was elevated from the practice squad for the third time this season ahead of Sunday's Week 12 loss to Baltimore. He had a significant role in that contest, finishing third among the team's wideouts in offensive snaps (34) while producing one catch for 17 yards on three targets. With both Mike Williams (knee) and Joshua Palmer (knee) on IR and No. 2 wideout Quentin Johnston dealing with a rib injury, Erickson has a good chance to be active again this coming Sunday versus New England. For that to happen, the Chargers would need to sign him to their 53-man roster.

Chargers' Alex Erickson: Joins active roster
The Chargers elevated Erickson to the active roster Saturday.
Erickson was called up from the Chargers' practice squad for Week 10 against the Packers and played 51 of 65 offensive snaps, which was third among the team's wideout corps behind Keenan Allen (61) and Quentin Johnston (56). This is the third time Erickson has been elevated from the practice squad, which means the Chargers would have to sign him to the active roster if the team wants him to play again after Sunday's contest against the Ravens.

Alex Erickson: Joins active roster
The Chargers elevated Erickson to their active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Erickson was likely added to the Chargers' active roster to ensure depth at wide receiver, as both Keenan Allen (shoulder) and Jalen Guyton (groin) are listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. The veteran wideout has spent the majority of the year on Los Angeles' practice squad, and his most recent in-game action came back in 2022 with the Commanders.

Alex Erickson: Joins Chargers' practice squad
Erickson was signed to the Chargers' practice squad Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Erickson was a preseason standout for the Jets but was unable to make it on their final 53-man roster. He spent his first six seasons with the Bengals before spending the majority of 2022 on Washington's practice squad. The Wisconsin product will now look to adapt in Los Angeles and work to make an impression at practice.
