Los Angeles Chargers
The Los Angeles Chargers are heading back home victorious after a big 29-27 win against the Miami Dolphins in Week 6 at Hard Rock Stadium.
The Chargers surrendered the lead with less than a minute to go after Dolphins veteran tight end Darren Waller scored a touchdown to give Miami a one-point lead.
From there, quarterback Justin Herbert led a game-winning drive that got the Chargers into scoring territory when he found wide receiver Ladd McConkey on a wild catch and run to get to the red zone.
McConkey’s catch gave him 100 yards on the day, while Herbert had...

Los Angeles Chargers defensive back Elijah Molden is receiving attention from the medical staff after suffering a hand injury in Week 6 against the Miami Dolphins.
In the second quarter, Molden combined on a tackle of Dolphins tight end Darren Waller with linebacker Daiyan Henley, resulting in him exiting the game.
The Chargers hope Molden can return to the game because he is one of the key members of the secondary. Molden was dealing with a hamstring injury that held him out for Weeks 2 and 3, but he returned and has played in the last two games for the...

The 302 Chargers are in Miami to face a 1-4 Dolphins team that is likely just as motivated to turn around their recent fortunes as soon as possible.
Los Angeles is somehow even more shorthanded this week after their 27-10 loss to the Commanders in Week Five. The team is now down to Austin Deculus (OT4) and Bobby Hart (OT5) as their two starting tackles and just placed starting defensive tackle Da’Shawn Hand on IR with a groin injury. Add in that the team is also down wideout Quentin Johnston (inactive) and set to start their RB3/4 in Hassan Haskins/Kimani...

The Los Angeles Chargers are counting down the minutes before their Week 6 matchup inside Hard Rock Stadium against Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins.
Going into the game, wide receiver Quentin Johnston was expected to play. However, a hamstring injury is keeping him out against the Dolphins.
Johnston is joined on the inactive list with wide receiver Derius Davis, fullback Scott Matlock, defensive back Nikko Reed, offensive lineman Jamaree Salyer, offensive tackle Joe Alt and offensive lineman Trey Pipkins.
Losing Johnston means the team should rely more on Ladd McConkey, Keenan Allen and rookie Tre Harris on offense.
Meanwhile,...

On Saturday, the Chargers announced that they are placing starting defensive tackle Da’Shawn Hand on injured reserve, meaning he’ll miss at least the next four games as he continues to recover from a groin injury he sustained against the Commanders in Week Five.
The Chargers also sign offensive tackle Bobby Hart from the practice squad to the active roster in preparation that he will start at right tackle against the Dolphins. In two corresponding moves, the team elevated both running back Nyheim Miller-Hines and offensive tackle David Sharpe to the game day roster.
The expectation is that Hassan Haskins will...

In a sudden move move by the Chargers on Sunday morning, the team has announced that starting fullback Scott Matlock has been downgraded to OUT against the Dolphins due to a personal matter. This will be yet another loss on offense for the Chargers who are already going to be without their top three offensive tackles, their top two running backs, their top tight end, an potentially their top wideout in Quentin Johnston who is reportedly leaning towards not playing (hamstring), per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
Without Matlock, the Chargers will have to shift their offensive game plan a bit now...

Welcome to game day, everyone!
The 3-2 Chargers are on the road this week to face a 1-4 Miami Dolphins team who is having one underwhelming season thus far. Ideally this is the get-right game the Bolts need to feel like they’re back on track, but the injuries across the roster have only gotten worse.
The Chargers are starting their fourth and fifth offensive tackles today, starting defensive tackle Da’Shawn Hand was placed on IR Saturday, and wideout Quentin Johnston is leaning towards not playing Sunday with a hamstring injury that left him with a questionable tag on Friday.
What...

The Chargers on a two-game skid and desperately need to find a way to right the ship this week against a 1-4 Dolphins team.
When you look at the remaining schedule, it actually gets a lot more difficult through the second half of the season. Aside from games against the Titans and Raiders, I’m not sure there’s any other game that you could argue the Chargers “should” win given the state of the team and their recent struggles.
As of now, the Bolts need to keep pace with the Broncos who now share the AFC West lead at 3-2. The...

The Chargers are done practicing in preparation for Week Six and this Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins.
How did the team turn out?
Well, the offensive line is once again going to be a problem. Per the team’s final injury report, right tackle Trey Pipkins is out and backup offensive guard Jamaree Salyer is questionable with knee injuries. Salyer did not participate in the last two practices while Pipkins did not practice all week.
Luckily starting right guard Mekhi Becton is back and will play, but that means the Chargers will have their fourth and fifth different starting offensive...
