Chargers Final Injury Report: WR Joshua Palmer not activated ahead of Broncos matchup
Photo by Joe Scarnici/ Wideout Josh Palmer hasn’t played in well over a month and he won’t suit up against the Broncos on Sunday. Like we all expected once again this week, the final injury report for the Chargers wound up being a lot smaller than it was throughout the week. Five players in all carry a designation ahead of Sunday’s game against the Broncos. Linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga and defensive tackle Otito Ogbonnia are both questionable to suit up while offensive guard Zack Bailey, wide receiver Joshua Palmer, and cornerback Deane Leonard are all sidelined...

Chargers select Illinois DT Jer'Zhan Newton in new 2024 mock draft
Matt Krohn-USA TODAY Sports The Chargers attack the interior of their defense by selecting an All-American defensive tackle out of Illinois. The Chargers will enter this offseason with plenty of needs across their roster. Off the top, they will need reinforcements at cornerback, tight end, running back, defensive tackle, and potentially center if Corey Linsley's timetable to return remains bleak. With only so many picks in the draft, the Chargers will have to prioritize which positions they feel can be fixed via free agency and which ones need the investment of a high...

Chargers Daily Links: Keenan Allen on track to set career highs across the board
Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports Your source for all Chargers and NFL news from around the web. Good morning, Chargers fans! Keenan Allen has been in this game a long time. He's been a walking 100-catch, 1,000-yard receiver whenever he's been able to stay healthy and that's been no different this season. Entering Week 14, Allen has 102 receptions and 1,175 yards to his name. Should he manage to snag five more passes this week against the Broncos -- something he's done in all but two games this season -- he'll set a new single-season receptions record, breaking his...

Two of the NFL’s greatest coaches, Bill Belichick and Mike Tomlin, each come into this TNF matchup on the back of potentially career low moments.

Chargers would have 12th-overall pick in 2024 NFL Draft if season ended today
Photo by Scott Winters/Icon Sportswire via If the 2023 season ended today, the Chargers would own the 12th-overall pick in this year’s draft. While everything is essentially meaningless until the actual season is over, I still find it interesting to keep tabs on where the Chargers would be picked should the season end today. It helps, at least, paint a picture of the “range” in which the Bolts are likely selecting this coming April and that’s enough to get fans and analysts started on predicting how they see this year’s draft playing out for the franchise. So...

These teams came out of this past weekend on different ends of the spectrum: the Chargers snapped a three-game losing streak with a 6-0 win over the Patriots and the Broncos just have their five-game win streak broken by the Texans. This game will go a log way in helping either...

Chargers Daily Links: Justin Herbert falls out of top-10 in QB rankings
Photo by Billie Weiss/ Your source for all Chargers and NFL news from around the web. Good morning, Chargers fans! I used to give weekly or bi-weekly updates on CBS Sports’ quarterback power rankings earlier this season. Since parental leave, I haven’t given an update in some time so I thought I’d go revisit the rankings. Some stuff has changed. Mainly, Justin Herbert is no longer in the top-10 after he spent most of the early season ingrained in the top five. Now? He’s 12th in the NFL. Some names that have jumped him in recent weeks include Jordan Love, CJ...
