  • Chargers' Charlie Kolar: Will be placed on IR

    Head coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that Kolar will go on injured reserve due to a forearm injury he sustained during Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Raiders, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

    Kolar was spotted with his left arm in a sling following Sunday's loss, and the injury is severe enough for him to warrant a stint on IR. That means he will be forced to miss at least the next four games and is eligible to return for Week 8 against the Rams on Sunday, Nov. 1. David Njoku (knee) is also set to go on IR, leaving Oronde Gadsden as the only healthy tight end on the Chargers' 53-man roster for the time being.

  • Chargers' David Njoku: Set to go on IR

    Head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters Monday that Njoku (fibula) and Charlie Kolar (forearm) will both go on injured reserve, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

    Both Njoku and Kolar sustained their injuries during Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Raiders, with the former being carter off the field during the second quarter. Both tight ends will be required to miss at least the next four games, so the earliest Njoku can return is Week 8 against the Rams on Sunday, Nov. 1. For the time being, second-year pro Oronde Gadsden, who posted a 49-664-3 receiving line on 69 targets across 15 regular-season games last year, is the only healthy tight end on the Chargers' active roster.

  • Chargers' Charlie Kolar: Arm in sling after Week 2 loss

    Kolar (forearm) was spotted with his left arm in a sling following Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Raiders, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

    Kolar recorded three catches for 21 yards on three targets over 40 snaps on offense before a forearm injury forced him out of the contest in the second half. He was one of two Chargers tight ends to leave the game due to injury, as David Njoku (knee) also made an early departure. Head coach Jim Harbaugh declined to provide updates on Kolar and Njoku after the game, so until the team releases its first Week 3 injury report Wednesday, the statuses of both players will be muddled heading into next Sunday's matchup with the Bills.

  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Misses lone FGA in Week 2 defeat

    Dicker missed his lone field-goal attempt but made both PATs in Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Raiders.

    The Chargers lost by the score of 26-14 for the second straight week, and both were upsets at home. The day started off on the wrong foot, as Dicker hit the right upright from 58 yards out to end Los Angeles' opening drive. Through two games, he's still looking for his first made field goal after not attempting any against Arizona in Week 1. Things won't get any easier next Sunday on the road outdoors against the Bills.

  • Chargers' Quentin Johnston: One catch in defeat

    Johnston caught one of five targets for seven yards in Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Raiders.

    Johnston finished with a team-high five targets, but he failed to capitalize versus Las Vegas. The wide receiver has caught three of 11 targets for 24 yards over two games to open the 2026 campaign, and his next chance to get on track will come Week 3 against the Bills.

  • Chargers' Justin Herbert: Game-long struggles in loss

    Herbert completed 15 of 27 passes for 192 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions while adding three carries for two yards in the Chargers' 26-14 loss to the Raiders on Sunday. He also committed three fumbles, with Herbert recovering one and the other two also staying with Los Angeles.

    Herbert's stat line tells the tale of an ugly and alarming Week 2 loss for the Chargers in which Herbert was constantly harassed and took three sacks in addition to tossing his pair of picks. The embattled signal-caller did connect with nine different targets overall, but no Bolts pass catcher had more than three receptions or 53 receiving yards. Herbert has completed just 59.3 percent of his passes over the first two games, and he'll have plenty of pressure on his shoulders for a suddenly critical Week 3 road matchup against the Bills next Sunday.

  • Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Reels in TD in loss to Las Vegas

    Gadsden caught both of his targets for 18 yards and a touchdown in the Chargers' 26-14 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

    One week after running just five pass routes in the Chargers' Week 1 loss to the Cardinals, Gadsden ran 15 routes against Las Vegas. He played an increased role on offense after David Njoku was carted off in the first half with a knee injury. If Njoku needs to miss additional time, Gadsden will be one of the biggest beneficiaries as the pass-catching tight end alongside blocker Charlie Kolar.

  • Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Three grabs in Week 2 loss

    McConkey (ribs) secured all three targets for 35 yards in the Chargers' 26-14 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

    McConkey gained clearance from his questionable tag due to a rib injury to suit up, and the third-year wideout tied for the team lead in receptions while finishing second in receiving yards. However, it was a lackluster and mistake-filled day overall for the Chargers passing attack, so McConkey's numbers should also be viewed in that context. McConkey should play a critical role as Los Angeles looks to avoid what would be an alarming third straight loss to open the season in a Week 3 road showdown against the Bills next Sunday.

  • Chargers' Omarion Hampton: Mixed performance in Week 2 loss

    Hampton rushed 23 times for 94 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for 21 yards in the Chargers' 26-14 loss to the Raiders on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

    Hampton put together a perfectly useful fantasy performance in the Chargers' alarming upset loss, spearheading Los Angeles' ground attack while handling a workhorse role. Hampton added a one-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, but his lost fumble in Raiders territory with 3:52 remaining in the game and the Bolts trying to erase a three-point deficit was a back-breaker, as it led to Las Vegas' game-clinching touchdown. Hampton has a rushing touchdown in each of the first two games of the new season but has a pair of lost fumbles as well. Nevertheless, the talented back will remain in the lead role for a Week 3 road showdown against the Bills next Sunday, a critical early-season contest for Jim Harbaugh's squad.

  • Chargers' Derwin James: Suffers broken pinky finger

    James suffered a fractured left pinky finger in Sunday's loss to the Raiders, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

    The star safety said Sunday that he'll play the remainder of the 2026 season with a cast, suggesting he doesn't plan to miss any game action moving forward. James recorded seven tackles (two solo) in the 26-14 loss to Las Vegas.

  • Chargers' Kayode Awosika: Questionable to return with forearm injury

    Awosika (leg) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Awosika injured his leg in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest. The starting left guard's exit makes the Chargers even thinner on the offensive line after already losing center Tyler Biadasz (knee) for the season. Travis Burke or Trevor Penning will likely finish the game in Awosika's stead.

  • Chargers' Charlie Kolar: Questionable to return Sunday

    Kolar (forearm) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Kolar went to the locker room during the second half of Sunday's game after sustaining a forearm injury, and he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. With David Njoku (knee) ruled out for the rest of the game, Oronde Gadsden is the only healthy tight end left on the Chargers' game day roster.

  • Chargers' Dalvin Tomlinson: Exits with hamstring issue

    Tomlinson (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Tomlinson exited the second half of Sunday's matchup with a hamstring issue. Justin Eboigbe or Nick Barrett will likely fill in for the starting nose tackle while the Chargers' medical staff determines if Tomlinson can return to the game.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Chargers' David Njoku: Ruled out Sunday

    Njoku (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Njoku was carted off the field in the second quarter due to a knee injury, which initially left him questionable to reenter this Week 2 contest. Now that he's ruled out, he'll end it with one catch (on three targets) for nine yards. Charlie Kolar and Oronde Gadsden will man tight end for the rest of Sunday's outing.
