Da'Shawn Hand - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Records first career interception Hand recorded two tackles (one solo) and an interception during Monday's 22-19 win versus the Eagles.

Impact Hand fooled quarterback Jalen Hurts by dropping back from the line of scrimmage into coverage in the middle of the second quarter, and the short pass ended up being thrown straight to him. The ball was punched out of his hands on the return and subsequently recovered by Hurts, who then coughed it up for linebacker Troy Dye to recover. Hand will be looking to cause more chaos in a Week 15 matchup against a pass-dependent Kansas City offense.

Upgrades to full participation Hand (illness) was a full participant in Friday's practice.

Impact Hand missed Thursday's session due to an illness, but the defensive end's immune system seems to have fought back enough for him to immediately upgrade to a full participant Friday. The hasty return to total participation means that the starter is likely good to go for Monday's contest with the Eagles, and he will have one more practice to exhibit that consistency before the game.

Sidelined Thursday Hand (illness) didn't practice Thursday.

Impact The 30-year-old likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Friday or Saturday in order to play in the Week 14 matchup against the Eagles on Monday night. If Hand is unable to go, Naquan Jones is likely to have an expanded role on the Chargers' defensive line.

Will play Sunday Hand (groin) is active for the Chargers' game versus the Steelers on Sunday.

Impact Hand spent the past four weeks on injured reserve but is now set to make his return to the field. The 29-year-old should resume his role as one of the team's starting defensive ends during Sunday's matchup.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Activated from IR The Chargers activated Hand (groin) from injured reserve Saturday, but he is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Impact Hand opened the week with back-to-back limited practices before logging a full session Friday. He hasn't been officially cleared to return from a four-game absence Sunday, but his activation from IR indicates that he will play against Pittsburgh. Hand's return would result in less snaps at defensive end to go around for Justin Eboigbe and Scott Matlock.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Gets cleared to practice again The Chargers designated Hand (groin) for return to practice from their injured reserve list Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hand has spent the last four games on injured reserve with a groin injury he suffered in Week 5 versus the Commanders, but it now seems like he's trending towards playing again soon. His activity at practice during the week will be worth keeping an eye on ahead of Sunday's game versus the Steelers.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Moved to injured reserve The Chargers placed Hand (groin) on injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Hand suffered a groin injury during the Chargers' Week 5 loss to the Commanders. He was unable to practice this past week, and the injury is severe enough for the 2018 fourth-rounder to go on injured reserve. Hand will be required to miss at least the next four games, making Week 10 against the Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 9 the earliest he can return. Justin Eboigbe, Naquan Jones, Otito Ogbonnia and Scott Matlock (ankle) should all see additional work at defensive end while Hand is on IR.

Sitting out Week 6 Hand (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Impact Hand will be sidelined by the injury he suffered in the Week 5 loss to Washington. Scott Matlock (ankle) would be in line for additional action in Hand's absence if Matlock suits up. Hand's next chance to play will come against the Colts in Week 7.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return vs. Washington Hand (groin) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hand went to the locker room in the first half after sustaining a groin injury, and further tests have determined that the injury is severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of Sunday's contest. Scott Matlock will continue to see additional snaps at defensive end with Hand done for the day.

Leaves game with groin injury Hand is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders due to a groin injury.

Impact Hand went to the locker room in the first half after sustaining a groin injury on defense, and he will be evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. With Naquan Jones (coach's decision) inactive, Scott Matlock should see a significant increase in snaps at defensive end opposite Otito Ogbonnia for as long as Hand is out of the game.

Finds new team Hand signed a one-year contract with the Chargers on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Hand is coming off a career year, having suited up for all 17 regular-season games with the Dolphins in 2024. He tallied 31 tackles (20 solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass defense, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in that span. Now, the veteran will get a chance to compete for additional first-team reps along a Los Angeles defensive line that parted ways with Joey Bosa to begin the offseason.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Career-high 31 tackles in 2024 Hand played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 31 tackles (20 solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass defense, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

Impact Hand spent most of the 2024 season in a rotational role at defensive end behind starters Calais Campbell and Zach Sieler. Hand registered career highs in defensive snaps (532) and total tackles (31) and was able to play in every single regular-season game. The 2018 fourth-round pick will be an unrestricted free agent in the offseason, and he could look to join an organization that can offer him a bigger role with the first-team defense.
