Chargers' Derwin James: Moved to IR
The Chargers placed James (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday.
James missed the Chargers' three games prior to the Week 7 bye due to a hamstring injury. He suffered a setback in his recovery during Week 8 prep, which will require a stint on IR for the veteran safety. James is required to be sidelined for at least four games, so the earliest he can return is Week 12 against the Patriots on Sunday, Nov. 29. Tony Jefferson will continue to operate in an elevated role in the secondary in James' absence.

Chargers' Kayode Awosika: Remaining out Week 8
Awosika (lower leg) has been ruled out for Sunday's tilt against the Rams, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Awosika suffered an injury to his fibula in Week 2 and hasn't been able to suit up since. He remained unable to practice during Week 8 prep, so it's not clear when he'll be able to return to game action. Rookie Logan Taylor may make a third straight start Sunday in Awosika's stead.

Chargers' Deane Leonard: Not available for Week 8
Leonard (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Leonard is in the league's concussion protocol, though it's not clear when he sustained the injury given that the Chargers were on a bye for Week 7. His absence means the Chargers will have less depth both on special teams and the secondary. His next chance to play is Week 9 against Houston on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Chargers' Donte Jackson: Questionable for battle of Los Angeles
Jackson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
A hamstring injury prevented Jackson from playing in the Chargers' two games prior to the Week 7 bye. He was a limited participant in all three practices during Week 8 prep, but if he cannot play, then Rodney Shelley (hamstring) and Tarheeb Still would be candidates to start opposite Cam Hart at outside cornerback.

Chargers' Derwin James: Remaining out Week 8
James (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's clash against the Rams, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
A hamstring issue will keep James sidelined for a fourth consecutive contest despite the Chargers coming off a Week 7 bye. Smith reported early in the week that James suffered a setback with the injury, and the veteran safety didn't end up practicing in any capacity. Tony Jefferson will likely have a major role in the secondary again Sunday, and it's unclear when James will be ready to return to action.

Chargers' Brenen Thompson: Won't play in Week 8
Thompson (quadriceps/hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Thompson didn't play a snap in Week 6 against the Chiefs despite being active for the contest due to a lingering quadriceps injury. He'll be inactive for Sunday's game, so KeAndre Lambert-Smith, Theo Wease and Derius Davis are all candidates for a bump in offensive snaps. Thompson's next chance to play is Week 9 against the Texans on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Likely set for reduced role Week 8
Lambert-Smith is likely to drop down the wideout pecking order Sunday versus the Rams, as Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports that both Ladd McConkey (concussion) and Tre' Harris (hamstring) are set to return to action.
McConkey missed most of Week 6, and Harris sat out that contest altogether. As a result, Lambert-Smith logged an 87 percent offensive snap count, which he turned into his first five catches and 39 yards of the season on nine targets. However, the Chargers' bye week has provided enough time for McConkey and Harris to recover, so Lambert-Smith will probably go back to a very minor role on offense.

Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Bolts getting reinforcements for Week 8
Johnston's role in the passing game will shrink slightly in Week 8 against the Rams given that both Ladd McConkey (concussion) and Tre' Harris (hamstring) have been cleared to play, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Both Johnston and McConkey were sidelined for Week 5, but the latter entered the league's concussion protocol during the Chargers' Week 6 loss to the Chiefs. Johnston logged 17 targets through his first three games of the regular season, although he's seen only five passes from Justin Herbert over his last two outings, which Johnston turned into two catches for 101 yards. The Chargers are averaging only 168.2 passing yards per game this season -- which ranks 28th in the NFL -- and they face a Rams defense that boasts the fourth-best pass defense in the league (186.3 passing yards allowed per game).

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Will play Sunday
McConkey (concussion) is off the injury report and will play in Sunday's game against the Rams, Noah Furtado of The Athletic reports.
After entering the week in concussion protocol, McConkey progressed to full practices Wednesday and Thursday before shedding his injury designation Friday. The Chargers will also get Tre' Harris (hamstring) back in action after a Week 6 absence and Week 7 bye.

Chargers' Tre' Harris: Cleared for return
Harris (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Harris, Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston have all missed time this season, but they're healthy after a Week 7 bye. Prior to the team's onslaught of injuries, Harris actually saw more targets (21) than Johnston (19) over the first four weeks of the season.

Chargers' Brenen Thompson: Misses practice again Thursday
Thompson (quadriceps/hamstring) did not practice Thursday.
It was a second consecutive DNP for Thompson, who has been battling multiple injuries for weeks. The 23-year-old was cleared to play in Week 6 versus the Chiefs after missing the three previous games, though he didn't play. It appears Thompson may not be available for the Week 8 meeting with the Rams, especially if he doesn't practice Friday.
