Chargers' David Njoku: Not activated ahead of Week 9
Njoku (fibula) wasn't activated from IR-designated to return ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Njoku returned to practice this week, but was limited all three days before being deemed doubtful for Week 9 action. The TE's next chance to play will arrive Monday Nov. 16, when the Chargers face the Ravens.

Chargers' David Njoku: Doubtful for Sunday
Njoku (fibula) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Njoku returned to practice this week but never advanced from limited participation to full. He could have a real shot next week when the Chargers face the Ravens. In the meantime, Charlie Kolar and Oronde Gadsden will get most of the TE snaps for Los Angeles.

Chargers' David Njoku: Limited Thursday
Njoku (fibula) was limited in Thursday's practice.
Njoku had his 21-day practice window opener Wednesday, and he's logged back-to-back limited practice sessions to begin Week 9 work. He's been on the shelf since going down with the lower leg injury in Week 2.

Chargers' David Njoku: Cleared to resume practicing
Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday that Njoku (fibula) has been designated for return from injured reserve, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.
The transaction opens up a 21-day window wherein Njoku can be evaluated for a return to the 53-man roster. The veteran tight end has been out of action since sustaining the fibula injury Week 2, but if he's able to turn in a full practice at some point over the next three days, he could have a chance at being activated from IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans. Once he's back in the fold, Njoku could push Charlie Kolar and Oronde Gadsden for snaps at tight end.

Chargers' David Njoku: Approaching return to practice
Coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that the Chargers will likely open the return window for Njoku (fibula) this week, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.
Njoku landed on IR after sustaining a fibula injury in Week 2, but the tight end's looming return to practice should provide a nice boost to a Chargers' TE corps that also includes Oronde Gadsden and Charlie Kolar. In his only full game with the team (Week 1 versus the Cardinals), Njoku recorded a 55 percent snap share en route to catching all five of his targets for 58 yards. If he can approach that level of production once he's back in the lineup, Njoku could resurface as a fantasy option as the season rolls along.

Chargers' David Njoku: Lands on IR
The Chargers placed Njoku (fibula) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Njoku will be sidelined for at least the Chargers' next four games after sustaining a fibula injury in Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Raiders. Fellow tight end Charlie Kolar (forearm) was able to avoid placement on IR but has already been ruled out for the Chargers' Week 3 contest in Buffalo, leaving Oronde Gadsden as the top option on the depth chart heading into that game.

Chargers' David Njoku: Set to go on IR
Head coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that Njoku will be placed on injured reserve due to a fibula injury, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Charlie Kolar (forearm) is also expected to land on IR after both he and Njoku sustained injuries during Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Raiders, with the latter being carted off the field during the second quarter. Njoku is without an official timeline to return, though he won't be eligible to come off IR any earlier than the Chargers' Week 8 matchup with the Rams on Nov. 1. For the time being, second-year pro Oronde Gadsden, who posted a 49-664-3 line on 69 targets across 15 games in 2025, is the only healthy tight end on the Chargers' 53-man roster.
