Cardinals' Simi Fehoko: Clears concussion protocol
Rotowire
Fehoko (concussion) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Titans, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Fehoko entered the league's concussion protocol during the Cardinals' Week 4 win over the Seahawks. He ended the week with back-to-back full practices, and he has progressed enough through the league's protocol to be cleared to play in Sunday's home game. The 2021 fifth-rounder has been limited to special-teams work in the three games he has played in this season.

Cardinals' Simi Fehoko: Logs full practice Thursday
Rotowire
Fehoko (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Fehoko was diagnosed with a concussion during the Cardinals' Week 4 loss to the Seahawks. His ability to practice in full Thursday is a positive sign, but the 2021 fifth-rounder will need to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol in order to play against the Titans on Sunday. Fehoko has played 38 snaps on special teams through three games this season.

Simi Fehoko: Sticking around in Arizona
Rotowire
The Cardinals signed Fehoko to the practice squad Thursday, Zach Gershman of the team's official site reports.
Fehoko was a somewhat surprising omission from the Cardinals' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he'll stay with the organization as a member of the practice squad. Arizona carried only five wide receivers on the 53-man squad, so Fehoko is a top candidate to be elevated from the practice squad should the Cardinals require depth at wideout on game day.

Simi Fehoko: Released by Arizona
Rotowire
The Cardinals released Fehoko on Tuesday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
This one comes as a mild surprise, as Fehoko appeared to be a leading candidate for one of the final wideout spots in Arizona due to his ability to play special teams. Fehoko played 41 offensive snaps and another 21 on special teams during the preseason, securing three of his six targets for 31 yards and two touchdowns.

Chargers' Simi Fehoko: Good to go for wild-card game
Rotowire
Fehoko (elbow) is active for Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Texans.
Fehoko was activated from IR on Friday after missing the final 10 contests of the regular season due to an elbow issue. The fourth-year wideout will provide important receiver depth for Los Angeles on Saturday due to Joshua Palmer (foot) being unable to suit up. That said, Fehoko will likely be fifth on the wideout depth chart Saturday behind Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, DJ Chark and Derius Davis, so he may not log more than a minor offensive snap count.

Chargers' Simi Fehoko: Comes off IR
Rotowire
The Chargers activated Fehoko (elbow) from IR on Friday.
Fehoko is still listed as questionable for Saturday's road AFC wild-card matchup against the Texans, but his activation from IR is a necessary step in order for him to take the field. With Joshua Palmer (foot) ruled out versus Houston, and Quentin Johnston (thigh) expected to play through injury, Fehoko's availability as a depth wideout could be a notable boost for the Chargers.

Chargers' Simi Fehoko: Questionable for wild-card round
Rotowire
Fehoko (elbow), who still remains on injured reserve, practiced in full Thursday and is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's road wild-card round matchup against the Texans.
Fehoko had his 21-day practice window opened Tuesday, and he's since logged a LP-FP-FP activity pattern. He'll need to be activated from IR in order to be eligible to play Saturday, but it looks like the depth wideout could be able to contribute during Los Angeles' road wild-card clash at Houston.

Chargers' Simi Fehoko: Logs limited practice in return
Rotowire
Fehoko (elbow) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.
Fehoko was placed on injured reserve Nov. 6 due to an elbow injury he suffered in Week 9 against the Browns. His 21-day window to return from IR opened Tuesday, but his limited participation in practice indicates he still has a ways to go in his recovery before returning to play. Fehoko would have to be activated off IR in order to play in Saturday's wild-card game against the Texans.

Chargers' Simi Fehoko: Practice window opens
Rotowire
The Chargers announced Tuesday that Fehoko (elbow) has had his 21-day window to return from IR opened, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Fehoko could potentially return from IR as early as Saturday's wild-card round playoff matchup against the Texans. Once cleared to retake the field, Fehoko will stand to contribute in a depth role in the Chargers' wide-receiver corps.

Chargers' Simi Fehoko: Not likely to practice this week
Rotowire
Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday that he doesn't expect Fehoko's (elbow) practice window to open this week, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.
Fehoko has been on IR since Nov. 6 due to an elbow issue. He's now eligible to be activated, but it doesn't sound like that's going to happen this week. Fehoko had been getting occasional good run prior to his injury, playing at least 73 percent of the Chargers' offensive snaps in three of his eight games, but he was inefficient with just six catches on 16 targets -- though he turned those receptions into 106 yards -- over eight games.

Chargers' Simi Fehoko: Suiting up Monday
Rotowire
Fehoko (shoulder/groin) is listed as active Monday at Arizona.
After opening Week 7 prep dealing with shoulder and groin injuries, Fehoko got back to full practice participation Friday and Saturday. He'll mix in at wide receiver for the Chargers along with Brenden Rice and Jalen Reagor behind Joshua Palmer and Ladd McConkey. In five appearances this season, Fehoko has hauled in three of seven targets for 61 yards.

Chargers' Simi Fehoko: Full practice Friday
Rotowire
Fehoko (shoulder/groin) practiced fully Friday.
Fehoko was estimated as a limited participant on Thursday's practice report, but his full participation in Friday's session paves the way for him to suit up Monday night against the Cardinals. He has just three catches (on seven targets) for 61 yards in five games to date, but two of those catches (for 44 yards) occurred in the Chargers' win over the Broncos in Week 6, when Fehoko saw a season-high 51 percent snap share. Ultimately, his Week 7 fantasy upside hinges on the availability of fellow WRs Quentin Johnston (ankle, DNP on Friday) and Ladd McConkey (hip, LP on Friday).

Chargers' Simi Fehoko: Tallies two receptions
Rotowire
Fehoko caught two of his four targets for 44 yards in the 23-17 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
Quentin Johnston was in and out of the game with an ankle injury, so Fehoko ended up taking more of the work opposite usual stalwart Ladd McConkey. He's only played more than 30 snaps twice this season, and, given the Chargers' limited passing attack, Fehoko is still outside the fantasy radar for the majority of formats.

Chargers' Simi Fehoko: Hauls in 78-yard TD
Rotowire
Fehoko caught both his targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 26-19 preseason win over the Cowboys.
Facing the team he made his NFL debut with in 2021, Fehoko got under a deep pass from Easton Stick on the first play of the second quarter, shed his defender and stayed in bounds before sprinting into the end zone. Fehoko is fighting for one of the last spots on an unsettled wide receiver depth chart following the offseason departures of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams (knee), but even Saturday's big play might not have been enough from him to claim a job on the season-opening roster. The Stanford product may have to settle for a spot on the Chargers' practice squad instead.

Chargers' Simi Fehoko: Healthy scratch in Week 13
Rotowire
Fehoko (coach's decision) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots.
The 26-year-old wideout seems to have fallen down Los Angeles' depth chart, as the team signed Alex Erickson to its active roster Saturday, and he'll suit up over Fehoko in Week 13. Fehoko has appeared in six games for the Chargers this season, catching one of his two targets for nine yards and one touchdown.

Rotowire
Fehoko signed with the Steelers' practice squad Thursday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Fehoko was waived by the Cowboys on Tuesday, and he will now head to Pittsburgh ahead of the 2023 campaign. The wide receiver appeared in five games with Dallas in 2022, reeling in three catches for 24 yards over 34 offensive snaps.
