Los Angeles Chargers
Justin Herbert is completely off the injury report while Ladd McConkey is questionable with a knee/shoulder injury.
The final Chargers injury report of Week 15 has ended up looking a lot better than it could have given the names who appeared on it throughout the week.
First and foremost, Justin Herbert is completely off the report despite missing Wednesday’s practice with a trio of left leg injuries. He was a limited participant on Thursday but capped off the week of prep with a full practice on Friday.
As for the Chargers who ended up on the final injury report, we...

Chargers tight end Stone Smartt is now atop the depth chart entering Week 15 with both Will Dissly and Hayden Hurst sidelined.
The Chargers are back at home this week after back-to-back road games. The 7-6 Buccaneers are up this week with aspirations of winning the NFC South following the collapse of the Falcons who had the division lead for most of the season.
Justin Herbert is hobbled, but that doesn’t mean we won’t see the quarterback do everything in his power to play on Sunday. He seems in good spirits and has already noted that he feels better this...

Justin Herbert returned to practice after missing Wednesday with an ankle sprain.
If Wednesday’s injury report for the Chargers caused you to look away, Thursday’s injury report will have you doing the opposite.
After sitting out of practice due to a slew of left leg injuries, quarterback Justin Herbert returned to the field today in a limited fashion. Fortunately, Herbert wasn’t the only starter to come back to practice after missing Wednesday.
Both edge rushers Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack were both present with the former missing Wednesday with a hip injury while the latter was enjoying his weekly veteran’s...

The Chargers, Justin Herbert, and Penn State TE Tyler Warren are a match made in heaven.
The Chargers will once again be tied to the tight end position during this year’s pre-draft process after not addressing the need earlier this year. On top of that, the team’s two bridge tight ends — Will Dissly and Hayden Hurst — are both in the midst of missing time with injuries.
Dissly has played well enough to warrant returning in 2025, but Hurst has rarely been available this season and when he has been healthy, his impact has been negligible. So with that...

Justin Herbert left Sunday’s night’s loss to the Chiefs with a few more bumps and bruises than expected.
During Sunday night’s 19-17 loss to the Chiefs, Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert spent at least one extended moment on the ground after being upended by linebacker Nick Bolton. On replay, Bolton’s elbow impacted squarely on Herbert’s thigh during the tackle and the collision certainly did enough damage to force Herbert to stay down and then miss the subsequent play just before halftime.
Luckily for the Chargers, Herbert returned to start the second half and the rest of the game. Afterwards, we learned...

Ladd McConkey was limited on Wednesday while Justin Herbert did not participate with a slew of left leg injuries.
The Chargers haver dropped their initial injury report of Week 15 and you may want to avert your eyes.
Justin Herbert did not practice on Wednesday with what the quarterback called an ankle sprain he sustained in the first half of Sunday night’s game. He’s also dealing with a left thigh contusion and swelling in his left knee.
So essentially, Herbert’s left leg is really going through it.
Other players who were absent on Wednesday were tight end Will Dissly (shoulder),...
