Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Hauls in one pass during exhibition finale
Lambert-Smith caught his only target for 21 yards in Thursday's preseason loss to the Rams.
Lambert-Smith worked behind the starters and ended up logging 16 offensive snaps. Over the course of the exhibition slate, Lambert-Smith led the Chargers in receptions (seven), targets (11) and receiving yards (93). That could help him in his battle for positioning in the Chargers' WR pecking order, though Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris (undisclosed) are all comfortably ahead of him on the depth chart.

Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Four targets in blowout loss
Lambert-Smith caught two of four targets for 14 yards in Thursday night's 41-17 preseason loss to the 49ers.
Lambert-Smith also returned two punts for 15 total yards. The wide receiver played 34 percent of the Chargers' offensive snaps, garnering a decent amount of attention for the time he was on the field. The second-year player out of Auburn is fighting for position in the team's wide receiver corps, with Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston (lower body), Tre' Harris (undisclosed) and Brenen Thompson all currently set to see more snaps.

Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Drilling during OTAs
Lambert-Smith (hamstring) is participating during the Chargers' OTAs, Eric Smith of the team's official site reports.
Lambert-Smith played in only 10 games during his rookie season last year, in part because he was tending to a lingering hamstring injury. The Chargers' only big move at wide receiver during the offseason was selecting Brenen Thompson in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, and Lambert-Smith is one of a few players working on returning punts during offseason workouts, so now that he's back to full strength, he should have a realistic chance of snagging a spot on the 53-man roster for this season.

Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Lands on IR
The Chargers placed Lambert-Smith (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday.
Lambert-Smith is done for the season after catching five passes for 51 yards and a touchdown across 10 games during the regular season. The rookie fifth-round pick will shift his focus to getting healthy for the 2026 campaign, while Kimani Vidal will likely take over as one of the team's primary kick returners during Sunday's wild-card matchup versus the Patriots.

Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Missing wild-card round
Lambert-Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Patriots.
Lambert-Smith opened the Chargers' week of practice with consecutive DNPs after sustaining a hamstring injury in the Week 18 loss to the Broncos, so it's no surprise that he won't play Sunday. The rookie wideout from Auburn logged just 53 offensive snaps over 10 regular-season contests this season, catching five of 12 targets for 51 yards and a touchdown. Kimani Vidal will likely step in and operate as one of the Chargers' top kick returners while Lambert-Smith is sidelined for the wild-card round.

Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Not practicing Wednesday
Lambert-Smith (hamstring) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Lambert-Smith suffered a hamstring injury during the Chargers' Week 18 loss to the Broncos and was unable to return to the contest. The 23-year-old has two more chances to participate in practice before Sunday's playoff matchup against the Patriots. Should Lambert-Smith be unable to return, Tre' Harris and Derius Davis could see a slightly higher snap count at wide receiver.

Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Done for the afternoon
Lambert-Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Broncos.
Lambert-Smith suffered a hamstring injury in the second quarter, and his night has now officially come to a premature end. Tre' Harris and Derius Davis could see a slight uptick in usage at wide receiver in his absence.

Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Tweaks hamstring, iffy to return
Lambert-Smith (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Lambert-Smith appeared to sustain the injury late in the second quarter after hauling in an 18-yard pass from Trey Lance. Derius Davis would serve as the primary returner on kickoffs and see more snaps on offense if Lambert-Smith is unable to return.

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' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Healthy scratch Week 11
Lambert-Smith (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
It's the first time this season that the rookie fifth-rounder is a healthy scratch, and with the Chargers on a bye Week 12, his next opportunity to play is Week 13 against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 13. Derius Davis and Trayveon Williams are slated to serve as the Chargers' primary returners on kickoffs and punts in Lambert-Smith's absence.

Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Past hamstring injury
Lambert-Smith (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
A hamstring injury prevented the rookie fifth-rounder from playing in the Chargers' Week 10 win over the Steelers. Lambert-Smith appears to be past the injury given his full practice Wednesday, and he is on track to be available for Sunday's road game against the Jaguars. He has mostly been used on special teams as a returner, posting 219 yards on nine kickoff returns across six regular-season games.

Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Won't play against Pittsburgh
Lambert-Smith (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
A hamstring issue limited Lambert-Smith's practice participation Thursday and Friday, and the injury is severe enough for the rookie fifth-rounder to miss Sunday night's home game. Derius Davis will step into a more prominent role as a returner on kickoffs and punts due in Lambert-Smith's absence.
