Brenen Thompson Brenen Thompson Does not practice Thursday
Thu, Nov 12, 2026, 6:35 PM
Thompson (hamstring) did not practice Thursday.
Analysis: Thompson hasn't played since Week 2 against the Raiders. It appears he will remain on the shelf for Monday's game versus the Ravens unless he shows signs of progress in the next few days. |
David Njoku David Njoku Limited at practice
Thu, Nov 12, 2026, 6:14 PM
Njoku (fibula) was a limited participant at the Chargers' practice Thursday.
Analysis: Njoku remained limited at the team's first practice of the week as he continues to work his way back from a fibula injury that has sidelined him since Week 2. The tight end was a limited participant at the team's three practices last week, and he'll have two more chances to log a full practice prior to Monday night's matchup with the Ravens. |
Tre' Harris Tre' Harris Dealing with shoulder issue
Thu, Nov 12, 2026, 6:09 PM
Harris (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.
Analysis: With teammate Ladd McConkey sidelined by a back injury in Week 9, Harris played 59 of the Chargers' 68 offensive snaps, drawing a team-high seven targets. It seems like he may have picked up an injury of his own along the way though, which makes his availability for Week 10 worth monitoring. He'll have two more chances to manage a full practice before the Chargers publish their last injury report of the week Saturday. |
Keaton Mitchell Keaton Mitchell Limited by hip issue Thursday
Thu, Nov 12, 2026, 5:54 PM
Mitchell (hip) was limited at practice Thursday.
Analysis: In this past Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Texans, Mitchell carried seven times for 33 yards and caught three of his four targets for 34 yards while losing a fumble. The 24-year-old currently is operating in a backfield timeshare with Omarion Hampton and Kimani Vidal in his first campaign with the Chargers, and Mitchell now has two more chances to upgrade his practice participation level ahead of Monday night's game against the Ravens. |
Justin Herbert Justin Herbert Not on injury report
Thu, Nov 12, 2026, 5:34 PM
Herbert (finger) doesn't appear on the the Chargers' injury report ahead of Monday night's game against the Ravens.
Analysis: Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh previously noted that the QB "should be good to go" for Week 10 action after imaging on Herbert's injured left middle finger came back negative for a fracture, per ESPN.com. The fact that Herbert isn't listed in any way on the team's first injury report this week aligns with that and paves the way for him to continue to helm the offense for 0-8 Los Angeles versus Baltimore. |
Ladd McConkey Ladd McConkey Sits out Thursday's practice
Thu, Nov 12, 2026, 5:27 PM
McConkey (back) didn't practice Thursday.
Analysis: Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com relayed Monday that Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh viewed McConkey as "day to day" with the back spasms that led to the wideout not logging any snaps in this past Sunday's loss to the Texans. With a 'DNP' on the record for Thursday, McConkey now has two more chances to practice ahead of Monday night's game against the Ravens. |
Deal to Denver nixed
Thu, Nov 12, 2026, 9:16 AM
Henley remains with the Chargers, as the Broncos have backed out of trading for the linebacker, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: A trade involving Henley was agreed to Tuesday pending a physical, but the Broncos apparently found a red flag concerning his knee during that physical. Denver offered an updated trade to the Chargers with different draft compensation than the originally agreed upon 2027 fourth-round pick and 2028 fifth-round pick, but the two sides were unable to agree on an updated framework, so Henley will ultimately remain with the Chargers. Henley has not missed a game this season, so the concern Denver discovered on his physical isn't expected to impact his availability for Monday's game against the Ravens. |
KeAndre Lambert-Smith KeAndre Lambert-Smith Logs one long catch in Week 9 loss
Tue, Nov 10, 2026, 8:03 PM
Lambert-Smith registered one catch (on four targets) for 50 yards in Sunday's loss to Houston.
Analysis: Lambert-Smith wasn't exactly prolific in spite of logging a hearty 40 offensive snaps, but he made his one catch count, hauling in a 50-yard reception in the third quarter. However, the woeful Chargers turned the ball over on a fumble two plays later. Lambert-Smith has spent much of the season on IR and has had an inconsistent role when suiting up, but he was deployed pretty heavily Sunday because Ladd McConkey couldn't play due to back spasms. If McConkey is also sidelined next Monday in Baltimore, Lambert-Smith could again be a fairly big part of Los Angeles' air attack. |
Kimani Vidal Kimani Vidal Totals 36 yards against Houston
Tue, Nov 10, 2026, 6:29 PM
Vidal rushed seven times for 30 yards in Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Texans. He added one catch for six yards on three targets.
Analysis: The Chargers continue to use a three-man backfield, an unfriendly fantasy situation and one to avoid when making lineup decisions each week. Vidal has been productive when he does get touches, rushing 36 times for 162 yards (4.5 YPC) and one touchdown across eight games. He's also caught 10 passes for 56 yards and an additional score. |
Oronde Gadsden Oronde Gadsden Only two catches in Week 9 loss
Tue, Nov 10, 2026, 6:14 PM
Gadsden caught two of three targets for 17 yards during the Chargers' 44-22 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Analysis: Gadsden was on the field for 33 of 72 offensive snaps (45.8 percent), which was second-most among Chargers tight ends behind Charlie Kolar (47). Gadsden has caught two passes or fewer in six of eight regular-season games, and his 19-172-1 receiving line (on 29 targets) is well behind pace from his rookie campaign (49 catches on 69 targets for 664 yards and three scores across 15 regular-season contests). The Chargers' offense this season has struggled under quarterback Justin Herbert and coordinator Mike McDaniel, which doesn't bring much confidence ahead of their Week 10 road tilt against the Ravens on Monday Night Football. |
Charlie Kolar Charlie Kolar Tallies three catches against Houston
Tue, Nov 10, 2026, 6:08 PM
Kolar brought in all three of his targets for 31 yards in a 44-22 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Analysis: Kolar has recorded three catches in four of his last five outings, although he's cracked 30-plus receiving yards in just two of those contests. The Chargers average a season-low 15.1 points per game, and their 201.9 receiving yards per game is ninth-fewest in the NFL, making pass catchers like Kolar hard to rely on for sustained production. The 0-8 Chargers will look to capture their first win of the season in Week 10 against the Ravens on Monday Night Football. |

Justin Herbert Justin Herbert Likely to play through finger injury
Tue, Nov 10, 2026, 10:00 AM
Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said that Herbert "should be good to go" for Monday's game at Baltimore after imaging on the quarterback's injured left middle finger returned negative for a fracture, ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Herbert may still have to manage some discomfort in the finger during Monday's contest, but since the injury to his non-throwing hand, he shouldn't be too affected while throwing or handing the ball off. That being said, Herbert has become increasingly difficult to justify including in fantasy lineups even when he's been in more optimal health entering games. Heading into the matchup with the Ravens, Herbert has completed a career-low 61.3 percent of his passes for 6.8 yards per attempt and just six touchdowns in eight games. He's tied with New England's Drake Maye for the league lead in interceptions thrown (11) and ranks second behind Cleveland's Deshaun Watson in sacks taken (31). |

Tre' Harris Tre' Harris Three catches in blowout loss
Mon, Nov 9, 2026, 8:42 PM
Harris caught three of seven targets for six yards during Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Harris failed to take advantage of Ladd McConkey (back) failing to appear in Sunday's game, registering his fewest receiving yards in a game this season. Harris was able to garner a team-high seven targets, which bodes well for his chances of increased production in Week 10 against the Ravens if McConkey remains sidelined. |

Ladd McConkey Ladd McConkey Deemed day-to-day by Harbaugh
Mon, Nov 9, 2026, 6:00 PM
Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh noted Monday that McConkey is viewed as "day to day" with back spasms, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.
Analysis: McConkey was not among the Chargers' Week 9 inactives, but he didn't play any snaps in Sunday's loss to the Texans after experiencing back spasms during pregame workouts. Harbaugh's assessment that the wideout is 'day-to-day' offers hope that McConkey will be in the clear ahead of next Monday's game against the Ravens, and a big step toward that outcome would be his full participation in practice no later than Saturday. |

Justin Herbert Justin Herbert Avoids fractured finger, per coach
Mon, Nov 9, 2026, 5:49 PM
Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh relayed Monday that Herbert (finger) avoided a fracture in his left middle finger, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.
Analysis: Herbert sustained the injury in Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Texans, but the QB's imaging came back "negative," per Harbaugh. That said, Herbert's status is nonetheless worth monitoring as next Monday's contest against the Ravens approaches. If Herbert's practice participation ends up being impacted in the coming days, DJ Uiagalelei would be be next in line for added QB reps. |

Ladd McConkey Ladd McConkey Pregame back spasms lead to Week 9 absence
Mon, Nov 9, 2026, 8:38 AM
McConkey was active but didn't play any snaps in Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Texans after experiencing back spasms during pregame workouts, Noah Furtado of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Because McConkey sustained the injury after the Chargers had already announced their inactive list, the wideout ended up being active but unavailable for the second time in three games. Back in Week 5, McConkey had been managing a foot injury but still proceeded to suit up for a matchup with Denver, though he didn't see any action and was active only because the Chargers had seven other players dealing with more significant health concerns. McConkey also made early exits in Week 1 due to a rib injury, Week 4 due to the foot issue and in Week 6 due to a concussion. The mounting injuries have made it increasingly difficult for fantasy managers to depend on McConkey, whose lack of availability has been one of many reasons that the 0-8 Chargers have taken a massive step back on offense in 2026. |
Cameron Dicker Cameron Dicker Makes three field goals in first half
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 10:55 PM
Dicker went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made his only PAT during Sunday's 44-22 loss to Houston.
Analysis: Dicker was able to make multiple field-goal tries for the third straight game and fifth time this season. The kicker did all his damage in the first half, converting field goals from 52, 33 and 43 yards before the break. Dicker has now gone 15-for-17 on field-goal attempts, including 1-for-2 from 50-plus yards, over eight contests so far during the 2026 campaign. |
DJ Uiagalelei DJ Uiagalelei Tosses TD after Herbert's exit
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 9:04 PM
Uiagalelei completed two of seven passes for 27 yards and a touchdown after replacing Justin Herbert (finger) in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Texans, and head coach Jim Harbaugh said after the game that Herbert could have a fractured finger, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.
Analysis: Uiagalelei was inaccurate in his first taste of regular-season NFL action but threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Derius Davis. If Herbert isn't available to face the Ravens on MNF in Week 10 and Trey Lance (groin) isn't ready to return from injured reserve, Uiagalelei would presumably be tabbed for the first regular-season start of the latter's career. |
Quentin Johnston Quentin Johnston Lone catch goes for 58-yard TD
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 8:47 PM
Johnston caught one of four targets for a 58-yard touchdown in Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Johnston's long touchdown catch cut the deficit to 38-15 in the fourth quarter. That was the final pass Justin Herbert (finger) completed before exiting the game. If Herbert can't play against the Ravens in Week 10, Johnston would likely find himself catching passes from DJ Uiagalelei. Johnston's 58 receiving yards set a new season high, surpassing his one-catch, 57-yard effort in Week 6, and Sunday's TD was his first of the season. |

Keaton Mitchell Keaton Mitchell Leads Chargers RBs with 67 yards
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 8:46 PM
Mitchell rushed seven times for 33 yards and caught three of four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Texans. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Mitchell led LA's three-man backfield rotation with 67 scrimmage yards while Omarion Hampton had 60 and Kimani Vidal contributed 36. Mitchell's fumble came late in the third quarter, with the Chargers already trailing 31-9 at the time. The winless Chargers are averaging a league-low 15.1 points per game heading into a Week 10 trip to Baltimore, and things could get even worse if QB Justin Herbert (finger) has to miss time after getting injured in the fourth quarter. |
