Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers have dropped their second injury report of Week Six and fortunately it looks like a handful of Bolts have progressed in their injury designations.
First up, Keenan Allen returned from his veteran’s day off to practice in full. Secondly, right guard Mekhi Becton improved from a limited participant to full participant in regard to his hand injury he sustained against the Commanders. Edge rusher Bud Dupree (hamstring), linebacker Denzel Perryman (ankle), and cornerback Ja’Sir Taylor (illness) also improved upon their tag from Wednesday.
As for those who did not practice Thursday, they were offensive tackle Joe Alt (ankle),...

The Charger s are 3-2 on the season and will travel to Miami to face the 1-4 Dolphins in Week Six. This is an excellent chance for some kind of a “get right game” but that’s only if they can button up the penalty issues and lack of discipline.
Despite their record, the Dolphins are still a dangerous team on offense. Defensively, however, they’re not looking too hot. That’s especially true on the ground where they allow a league-leading 174.2 rushing yards per game.
Could it be a big week for either Hassan Haskins or Kimani Vidal? Only time will...

The Chargers continued to be very active on Tuesday with another pair of transactions.
Firstly, the Bolts are signing center Josh Kaltenberger and veteran wide receiver Jalen Reagor to the practice squad. Both were signed to the practice squad to begin the regular season and were both were waived at varying points earlier this season.
In a corresponding move, the team is releasing offensive lineman Michael Dunn and linebacker Kana’i Mauga from the practice squad.
Kaltenberger played in 36 games (across five seasons) for the Purdue Boilermakers before choosing to grad transfer and finish his career with the University of...

The Los Angeles Chargers are hoping to snap a losing streak as they take on the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium.
It’s never easy to win on the road, especially on the east coast in the early window on Sunday, but the Chargers are going into the game as a favorite against the Dolphins. FanDuel Sportsbook lists the Chargers as a 4.5-point favorite over the Dolphins.
The Chargers won their first three games after beating the Kansas City Chiefs, Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos in the AFC West gauntlet, but they have fallen on tough times after losing...

The Chargers and general manager Joe Hortiz have made a move following their second consecutive loss in an attempt to strengthen a defense that just got walloped by the Commanders in Week Five.
Per NFL insider Adam Schefter, the Chargers are trading starting safety Alohi Gilman and a 2026 fifth-round pick in exchange for Ravens edge rusher Odafe Oweh and a 2027 seventh-round pick. The move comes while veteran Khalil Mack is still on IR returning from a dislocated elbow.
This season, only one Chargers pass rusher has double-digit pressures and that’s Tuli Tuipulotu (27) who also leads the team...

The Chargers fell victim to a trap game against the Giants and wound up with their first loss of the season in Week Four. Seven days later, they came out just as flat and uninspired to lose 27-10 against the Commanders at home. Injuries are mounting and what was once a bright future is now a dismal one with little to look forward to.
A second consecutive loss has also dropped the Bolts across the media’s power rankings. How far exactly? Let’s go ahead and find out.

Chargers first-round running back Omarion Hampton is being placed on injured reserve after suffering an ankle injury against the Commanders on Sunday afternoon. Hampton left the game early and was seen wearing a walking boot in the locker room after the game.
Per Jim Harbaugh, the Chargers will now be without Hampton for at least four games. This new comes just two weeks after fellow running back Najee Harris tore his achilles against the Denver Broncos in Week Three.
The loss of Hampton immediately means the Chargers have one of the worst running back situations in the entire league. Hassan...

The Chargers needed to rebound their fortunes from a Week Four loss to the winless Giants in hopes of not falling into a slide. With a 3-0 start in your own division, who would ever want to see that prime head start vanish?
Well, thanks to some of the sloppiest, most undisciplined play we’ve ever seen from a Jim Harbaugh-led team, the Chargers are now on a two-game skid thanks to a waterfall of penalties and a non-existent protection plan for Justin Herbert.
All of these self-inflicted wounds have (for the time being) ruined what was setting up to be...
