Top Charlie Kolar News

  • Chargers' Charlie Kolar: Three catches in Week 6 loss

    Kolar caught three of six targets for 20 yards during the Chargers' 22-6 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Kolar finished fifth on the Chargers in receiving yards, but he was also second on the team in both catches and targets behind KeAndre Lambert-Smith (five catches on nine targets for 32 yards). Kolar has a 6-57-10 receiving line in his two outings since returning from a two-game absence due to a fractured forearm, but he's stuck in a Chargers offense that is one of the worst units in the league this season. The Chargers will look to regroup during the Week 7 bye before facing the Rams in Week 8 on Sunday, Nov. 1.

  • Chargers' Charlie Kolar: Bolts' leading receiver in loss

    Kolar reeled in three of four targets for 37 yards during Sunday's 23-17 loss versus the Broncos. He also lost a fumble.

    Kolar was fighting for extra yardage after making a 19-yard grab for a first down in the first quarter when safety Talanoa Hufanga (ankle) jarred the ball loose, creating a turnover to set up a Denver touchdown. He managed two more catches for 18 yards the rest of the way, which was enough to make him the Chargers' most productive pass catcher in a game where quarterback Justin Herbert only threw for 121 yards. He projects to start as a blocking-first tight end again in a Week 6 tilt against the Chiefs.

  • Chargers' Charlie Kolar: Returning in Week 5

    Kolar (forearm) is active for Sunday's game against Denver, Eric Smith of the team's official site reports.

    Kolar missed the last two games but will return despite practicing in a limited capacity during the week. With Kolar active in Week 5, Oronde Gadsden is expected to slide back to the No. 2 spot on the tight-end depth chart.

  • Chargers' Charlie Kolar: Could return vs. Denver

    Kolar (forearm) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Kolar was limited in practice all week due to a fractured forearm, but he's progressed enough in his recovery to draw the questionable tag after missing the Chargers' prior two games. Oronde Gadsden would continue to serve as the Chargers' top tight end if Kolar is unable to return.

  • Chargers' Charlie Kolar: Remains limited Thursday

    Kolar (forearm) remained limited in Thursday's practice.

    Kolar broke his forearm in Week 2 against the Raiders and has missed the last two games. The block-first tight end's return will be welcomed by Los Angeles once he's cleared. The Chargers' offensive line has been a nightmare, and both starting tackles Rashawn Slater (ankle) and Joe Alt (neck) are again dealing with injuries.

  • Chargers' Charlie Kolar: Returns to practice Wednesday

    Kolar (forearm) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Kolar has missed the Chargers' last two games while recovering from a fractured left forearm that he sustained in Week 2 against the Seahawks. He's progressed enough in his recovery to return to practice Wednesday, and his participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Broncos on Sunday. If Kolar is cleared to return, then he would likely split starting tight end duties with Oronde Gadsden, especially with David Njoku (knee) on injured reserve.

  • Chargers' Charlie Kolar: Won't play against Seattle

    Kolar (forearm) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    Kolar fractured his forearm during the Chargers' Week 2 loss to the Raiders. He'll miss a second consecutive game due to his injury, but the positive news for the fifth-year tight end is that he ended Week 4 prep with a limited practice Friday. Head coach John Harbaugh told reporters after Friday's session that Kolar is "doing everything and anything possible" to return to the field, and he could return as soon as Week 5 against the Broncos on Sunday, Oct. 11. For now, Oronde Gadsden will serve as the Chargers' TE1, with Hayden Rucci also in the mix for offensive snaps.

  • Chargers' Charlie Kolar: Still not practicing

    Kolar (forearm) didn't practice Thursday.

    Kolar hasn't practiced in any fashion since fracturing his left forearm in a Sept. 20 loss to the Raiders and undergoing surgery two days later. The Chargers have avoided placing Kolar on injured reserve with the expectation that he'll return to action within four games, but he'll almost certainly miss a second straight contest this Sunday in Seattle.

  • Chargers' Charlie Kolar: Still sidelined at practice Wednesday

    Kolar (forearm) is not practicing Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

    Kolar remains unlikely to play Sunday against the Seahawks, as he continues his recovery from a broken forearm, which he suffered in Week 2. Oronde Gadsden, Hayden Rucci and Patrick Herbert handled tight-end duties against the Bills last Sunday.
