Chargers | Omarion Hampton a few weeks away Tue Nov 4, 01:33 AM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) is unlikely to have his 21-day practice window opened until after the team's Week 12 bye, according to head coach Jim Harbaugh.
| Footballguys view: As SI.com noted, Hampton, who got an increased workload after the season-ending Achilles injury to Najee Harris early in the season, was gaining momentum before a seemingly benign ankle injury in the loss to the Commanders in Week 5. He walked off the field under his own power and was diagnosed with a sprained ankle, but hasn't been seen since. That was four weeks ago, and at best, he'll miss seven games. In his absence, Kimani Vidal has stepped up. But Justin Herbert has been the team's leading rusher in three of the five games Hampton has missed. |

Chargers | Joe Alt to miss rest of season Mon Nov 3, 04:41 PM
Los Angeles Chargers OT Joe Alt (ankle) is scheduled to undergo season-ending ankle surgery.
| Footballguys view: The fear on Sunday was that Alt's season was over, and that fear came true on Monday. The Chargers have now lost both of their starting offensive tackles to injuries this season. Los Angeles' other starting OT Rashawn Slater tore his patellar tendon during a practice in August, resulting in him being ruled out for the remainder of the 2025 season. Alt was initially moved to the left tackle position to fill in for Slater. The Chargers' starting right tackle, Bobby Hart, also suffered a groin injury in Sunday's game. |

Chargers | Quentin Johnston finds the end zone Sun Nov 2, 04:18 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston posted four receptions for 53 yards and a touchdown on five targets in Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans.
| Footballguys view: Johnston was neglected during the 37-10 win last week, with zero catches, and he only caught two balls in Week 7, so this is a welcome stat line from Johnston for fantasy teams that were wondering if they can trust him in lineups going forward. He'll be a boom/bust WR3/Flex against the Steelers next week. |

Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey posted four receptions for 56 yards on a game-high seven targets in Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans.

Los Angeles Chargers TE Oronde Gadsden II posted five receptions for a game-high 68 yards on five targets in Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans.
| Footballguys view: Gadsden has become a mainstay for Justin Herbert as a fifth round rookie tight end. He was involved early once again this week and has arrived as a fantasy TE1. He'll face the Steelers next week coming off of a game where they held Colts rookie tight end sensation Tyler Warren to five catches for 26 yards. |
Chargers | Jaret Patterson totals nine carries Sun Nov 2, 04:09 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Jaret Patterson rushed nine times for 44 yards in Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans, and he was not targeted in the passing game.

Chargers | Kimani Vidal does very little Sun Nov 2, 04:04 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Kimani Vidal fan 12 times for just 30 yards in Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans, and he did not have a catch on just one target.
| Footballguys view: Vidal was one of the biggest disappointments of Week 9 in what should have been a perfect spot for him to put up fantasy points. Backup Jaret Patterson was more effective, but Vidal should remain the starter against the Steelers, and he belongs in lineups as a RB2/Flex play while we continue to wait for news about when Omarion Hampton will be able to return from his ankle injury. |
Chargers | Justin Herbert totals three touchdowns Sun Nov 2, 04:00 PM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert completed 19-of-29 passes for 250 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans, while running nine times for a game-high 57 yards and a score.
| Footballguys view: Herbert had a great fantasy showing against the Titans thanks to a rushing score and a solid passing performance against a surprisingly competitive Titans defense. The Chargers did lose left tackle Joe Alt in this game, and his earlier absence from Weeks 5-7 seemed to hamper the offense. Herbert will face the Jekyll and Hyde Steelers defense next week. |

Chargers | Joe Alt carted off in second quarter Sun Nov 2, 02:08 PM
Los Angeles Chargers OT Joe Alt (leg) left the Week 9 game against the Tennessee Titans in the second quarter due to an apparent leg injury. While engaged on a block, he was rolled up on, and after being down for a while, he was carted off.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers offense slowed down without Alt from Weeks 5-7, but peaked last week with his return against the Vikings. The team already lost their other starting tackle, Rashawn Slater, before the season even started. We will have to lower expectations for Herbert and really the entire offense going forward if Alt ends up on injured reserve. |

Los Angeles Chargers practice squad RB Jaret Patterson and RB Amar Johnson were elevated to the active roster Saturday, Nov. 1, and will be available to play in Week 9.
| Footballguys view: Hasaan Haskins was placed on IR, so he's out the next four weeks. Kimani Vidal is the starter, and guys like Patterson can work into the mix as a reserve for the Chargers. |

Chargers | Hassan Haskins on injured reserve Sat Nov 1, 04:18 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Hassan Haskins (hamstring) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Nov. 1.
| Footballguys view: Haskins now will be forced to miss at least four weeks. By the time he returns, rookie first-round pick Omarion Hampton should be back as well. Kimani Vidal is the lead back for the Chargers with Jaret Patterson as perhaps the top reserve. |
