DJ Chark - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Limited in practice Wednesday Chark (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Chark has been regularly listed as limited since having his 21-day practice window opened. The veteran wide receiver hasn't yet played this season, but he should be nearing a return and might possibly even be a candidate to suit up for Sunday's road game against the Browns. Chark will need to be fully activated from IR before being eligible to make his Chargers debut, however.

Not returning Week 8 Chark (groin) was not activated off IR ahead of Sunday's contest versus New Orleans.

Impact Chark hasn't yet played this season, though he was designated to return from IR on Oct. 16. The veteran receiver logged a trio of limited practices this week, so he appears to be getting closer to a return. The Chargers elevated a pair of wideouts -- Jaylen Johnson and Jalen Reagor -- from the practice squad Saturday to help round out a wide receiver corps that will likely be without Quentin Johnston (ankle) and Derius Davis (hamstring) in addition to Chark.

Questionable for Sunday Chark (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints after practicing in a limited fashion this week.

Impact Chark has continued to log limited practices since having his 21-day practice window opened last Wednesday, and the Chargers have until Saturday afternoon to activate him from IR ahead of Week 8 action. If he's available this weekend, Chark could step into a key role in the team's passing offense, with Quentin Johnston (ankle) listed as doubtful and Ladd McConkey questionable with a hip injury that he's been managing.

Still limited at practice Chark (groin) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Impact Since having his 21-day practice window opened last Wednesday, Chark has continued to log limited practices. The Chargers' WR corps is pretty banged up at the moment, with Quentin Johnston (ankle), Ladd McConkey (hip) and Derius Davis (hamstring) also on the injury report, but it's unclear if Chark will be activated from IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.

OCTOBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Season debut on hold Chark (groin) wasn't activated from IR ahead of Monday night's game against the Cardinals.

Impact After his 21-day practice window was opened Wednesday, Chark logged limited practice listings Thursday through Saturday before approaching Week 7 action listed as questionable. With his regular-season debut on hold, Chark's next chance to see game action will arrive Sunday against the Saints.

OCTOBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Chark (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Chark practiced in limited fashion all week, so it's unclear if that kind of practice cadence will allow for the veteran wide receiver to make his season debut, even with the numerous injuries to the Chargers receiving corps. Expect more information regarding Chark's status to come before the 9:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Limited practice Friday Chark (groin) was limited at practice Friday

Impact The Chargers opened up Chark's 21-day practice window Wednesday, but it remains to be seen if he'll be activated from IR ahead of Monday night's game against the Cardinals. Once he returns to the mix, Chark will have an opportunity to claim a role in a wideout corps currently led by Ladd McConkey (hip), Quentin Johnston (ankle) and Joshua Palmer.

OCTOBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

In line to return to practice The Chargers plan to open Chark's (hip) 21-day practice window Wednesday,Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Chark landed on IR in advance of Week 1 action, but the wideout is now inching closer to a return to action. It remains to be seen if he'll be activated for Monday's game against the Cardinals, but once Chark returns to the lineup, he have an opportunity to claim a role in a Chargers WR corps currently that's led by Joshua Palmer, Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey.

OCTOBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Window won't open Wednesday Coach Jim Harbaugh doesn't expect Chark's (hip) 21-day practice window to be opened Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Chark has been on injured reserve for the entire regular season so far, and he isn't ready to begin practicing Wednesday as the Chargers begin preparing for Sunday's game in Denver. Once his practice window opens, the Chargers would have 21 days from that point to add Chark to the active roster.

OCTOBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Approaching return to practice Chark (hip) is on track to return to practice this coming week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Chark is currently on IR, but it looks like his 21-day practice window will open up shortly. Once the wideout is back up to speed, he'll have a chance to reclaim a key role in a Chargers' WR corps that's currently led by Joshua Palmer, Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2024 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Added to IR Chark was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Impact It's a tough blow for Chark's marginal fantasy value as the veteran figured to have an upper hand to be one of the team's top-three pass catchers given his experience relative to Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey. With that opportunity now gone, Chark won't be eligible to return until Week 6 as the team has the earliest possible bye in Week 5.

Chargers News: DJ Chark Jr. ruled out for season opener against Raiders Chargers grapple with injury woes as they prepare for season opener against arch-rivals Raiders.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2024 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Won't play Sunday Chark (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's season opener against the Raiders.

Impact With Chark unavailable, Joshua Palmer, Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston are slated to lead the Chargers' Week 1 wideout corps. Chark, who didn't practice this week, will thus target a potential return to action Sept. 15 versus the Panthers.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not dressed for practice Friday Chark (hip) is watching Friday's practice in street clothes, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Chark appears set to miss a third consecutive practice, in which case he'll be a strong candidate to miss Sunday's regular-season opener against the Raiders. Friday's practice report will reveal the veteran wideout's official injury designation for Week 1. In the event that Chark isn't able to go, the Chargers will stand to roll with Joshua Palmer, Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston as the starters in three-wide sets.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Thursday Chark (hip) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Chark came up limping in practice on Aug. 19 and has been dealing with the injury ever since. Back-to-back DNPs to open the practice week aren't a good sign for the veteran wideout's Week 1 availability against the Raiders, but Chark has one more day of practice to get out there ahead of Sunday. If Chark is unable to play, Joshua Palmer, Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston would likely be the Chargers' three-wide set versus Las Vegas.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Wednesday Chark (hip) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Chark's been dealing with an injury since last month, and Wednesday's injury report confirmed that the wideout is tending to a hip issue. Chark will need to return to practice by Friday in order to avoid a Week 1 injury designation, but if he's limited or out Sunday against the Raiders, Joshua Palmer, Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston would be in line to lead the team's WR corps versus Las Vegas.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not seen at practice Chark (hip) wasn't spotted at Wednesday's practice, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Chargers' upcoming practice report will confirm both Chark's participation level and the nature of his injury. Assuming he is listed as 'DNP' he'll have two more chances to get reps in before Sunday's season opener against the Raiders.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Still missing from practice Chark (hip) wasn't seen at the portion of Monday's practice open to the media, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Chark is two weeks removed from developing a limp due to an apparent hip injury in practice, which has sidelined him in the meantime. The Chargers aren't required to post an injury report until Wednesday ahead of Sunday's contest against the Raiders, so clarity surrounding his situation may come in the near future. Once he's healthy, Chark will be part of a receiving corps that's paced by Joshua Palmer, Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston.
