Top Chargers News

  • Chargers' RJ Mickens: Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Mickens (shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

    Mickens injured his shoulder during the Chargers' Week 15 win over the Chiefs. Per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com, Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters Wednesday that Mickens "could miss time" due to his injury. If both Mickens and Elijah Molden (hamstring) are unable to play Sunday against the Cowboys, then Tony Jefferson would be slated for another start at safety alongside Derwin James.

  • Chargers' Tre' Harris: Limited at practice

    Harris (hip) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

    Harris reeled in three of five targets for 49 yards in the team's Week 15 win over the Chiefs, but he may have suffered a hip injury in the process. With Quentin Johnston (groin) and Derius Davis (ankle) still banged up, the Chargers could be thin at wide receiver in Week 16 if Harris is forced to be sidelined. Harris will have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with the Cowboys.

  • Chargers' Bud Dupree: Limited to open week

    Dupree (back) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

    Dupree may have suffered a back injury in the team's 16-13 win over the Chiefs in Week 15, forcing him to be limited to open the week at practice. The linebacker will have two more chances to return to practice prior to Sunday's matchup with the Cowboys.

  • Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Limited at practice

    Johnston (groin) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

    Rookie wideout Tre' Harris took on an 84 percent snap share with Johnston absent for Sunday's 16-13 win over the Chargers. Johnston was a late addition to last week's injury report, and while the issue doesn't seem serious, he may need a full practice Thursday/Friday to enter this weekend in good shape for Sunday's favorable matchup with Dallas.

  • Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Spotted at practice

    johnston (groin) is participating in practice Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

    Johnston was added to Los Angeles' injury report in Week 15 late, after being limited at practice Friday, and initially listed as questionable before eventually being ruled out for the team's win over the Chiefs. It seems likely that he'll be limited again Wednesday, in which case the extent of Johnston's practice activity Thursday and Friday stand to be the deciding factors in his status for Sunday's game against Dallas. Even if healthy enough to return in time for a favorable matchup against the Cowboys' defense, it will be difficult for fantasy managers to rely on Johnston, given that he's exceeded 50 receiving yards just once in his last eight appearances.

  • Chargers' Scott Matlock: Records two catches in Week 15

    Matlock played 36 of the Chargers' 66 snaps on offense and recorded two catches for nine yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Chiefs.

    Listed at 6-foot-4 and 296 pounds, Matlock began his career as a defensive lineman but has played primarily as a fullback since Jim Harbaugh took over as the Chargers' head coach in 2024. He's typically been deployed mainly as a lead blocker and pass protector, but Matlock ended up seeing a couple of short-yardage targets from quarterback Justin Herbert in Sunday's win. Matlock's last reception had come back in Week 9, when he hauled in a two-yard pass for his first NFL touchdown in a 27-20 win over the Titans.

  • Chargers' Derius Davis: Misses Wednesday's practice

    Davis (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

    The third-year pro was sidelined for the Week 15 win over the Chiefs due to an ankle injury, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he's still dealing with the issue. Davis likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday to play in the Week 16 matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday.

  • Chargers' RJ Mickens: Could miss time

    Head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters that Mickens (shoulder) won't practice Wednesday and "could miss time," Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

    The rookie safety from Clemson exited the Week 15 win over the Chiefs with a shoulder injury, and it appears that issue could sideline him further. Mickens' practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.

  • Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Scores first career touchdown

    Lambert-Smith caught his lone target for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Chiefs.

    Lambert-Smith's trip to the end zone accounted for the only touchdown scored by the Chargers in the contest and the first touchdown of his career. With teammate Quentin Johnston (groin) inactive, the rookie wideout played 21 of the Chargers' 66 offensive snaps, his largest snap share of the season. Lambert-Smith made the most of his limited playing time by finding the end zone, but the Auburn product should not be trusted for fantasy purposes, even in a plus matchup against the Cowboys in Week 16.

  • Chargers' Tuli Tuipulotu: Two more sacks in victory

    Tuipulotu recorded four tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks, in the Chargers' win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

    It's been a true breakout season for Tuipulotu, who was the 54th overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft. He sacked Patrick Mahomes (knee) twice in the first half Sunday and has now produced 43 tackles (32 solo), including a career-high 12.0 sacks, 21 QB hits, three pass breakups and two forced fumbles on 76 percent of the Chargers' defensive snaps across 14 games this season. Only Myles Garrett (21.5), Brian Burns (13.0), Micah Parsons (12.5) and Nik Bonitto (12.5) have logged more sacks this season.
