Link to story Chargers | Greg Roman fired Tue Jan 13, 01:23 PM
Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Greg Roman was fired on Tuesday, Jan. 13.
| Footballguys view: Roman, 53, was hired in 2024 when Jim Harbaugh returned to coach the Chargers. Roman was previously Harbaugh's coordinator with San Francisco from 2011-2014. Los Angeles finished the season No. 12 in total yards and No. 20 in points scored. The club dealt with several injuries, particularly along the offensive line. But Los Angeles managed just 207 total yards in Sunday's 16-3 wild-card loss to the Patriots, which likely hastened this move. Los Angeles is likely to have two new coordinators in 2026, as defensive coordinator Jesse Minter is primed to land a head coaching job in this cycle. |

Chargers | Offense stifled all night by Patriots Mon Jan 12, 12:16 AM
The Chargers lost to the Patriots 16-3 in the wild card game Sunday night. Justin Herbert completed 19 of 31 passes for 159 yards and added 57 yards on 10 rushes. Herbert also lost one fumble. Kimani Vidal got most of the backfield work with 11 carries for 31 yards and two receptions for 20 yards. Omarion Hampton had only 1 carry for -1 yards and was clearly not 100%. Ladd McConkey led the receivers with three catches for 32 yards and Oronde Gadsden added three catches for 30 yards. Quentin Johnston and Keenan Allen also caught three balls each with Allen accounting for 25 yards and Johnston 20.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers offense was just too limited without its starting tackles to make any kind of playoff run. Herbert wasn't able to sustain drives with any consistency. Things could be very different next season if Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater can stay healthy. Keenan Allen was considered to be close to retiring before re-joining the Chargers this summer. We'll see if he calls it quits. |

Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) said that he expects to play in the Wild Card game versus the New England Patriots Sunday, Jan. 11.
| Footballguys view: Hampton was able to practice on Friday wearing a brace. He's the best back, but the rookie is not 100 percent healthy. Expect the Chargers to use Hampton as the lead back, but Kimani Vidal should get plenty of work as well. |

Chargers | No designation for Justin Herbert Fri Jan 9, 04:32 PM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (hand) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: Herbert has toughed it out since requiring surgery on his non-throwing hand several weeks ago. His splits without Joe Alt haven't been great this year, but he's still got a ceiling that makes him a viable fantasy option. |

Chargers | Keenan Allen expected to play Fri Jan 9, 04:28 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: Allen has been a steady chain mover for Justin Herbert this year, but the passing targets are spread thinly across the team. Likely third on his team in targets, he falls into the touchdown-or-bust range this weekend against the Patriots. |

Chargers | Omarion Hampton limited Friday Fri Jan 9, 04:27 PM
Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) was limited during practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is listed as questionable for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: After back-to-back DNPs to start the week, it's promising that Hampton was able to return to practice. Given his injury, don't be surprised to see him cede work to Kimani Vidal, even if he is active. Hampton has a bright future ahead of him, but his short-term outlook as he navigates this injury is hard to get excited about. |

Circle back to see if he can get out there on Friday, even if he's limited. The Chargers will turn to Kimani Vidal if Hampton can't play. |

Chargers | Justin Herbert hit more than any other QB Wed Jan 7, 01:48 PM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert was hit 129 during the regular season, most in the NFL. 'He has to be the most insanely mentally tough dude of all time,' teammate LB Khalil Mack said. He was pressured on 42.8 percent of his 615 dropbacks, the highest rate in the league, according to TruMedia. He was hit on 21 percent of those dropbacks, while he was sacked 54 times. Herbert set a career high with 439 scramble yards this season.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers lost both of their starting tackles this year, and that's why Herbert is the most-hit quarterback in the league. During the playoffs, attacking Herbert will be a plan for opponents and he'll have to play through the pressure. The Chargers have what it takes to win a Super Bowl, and better protection for Herbert would help get them there. |
