KeAndre Lambert-Smith - Page 3 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Minimal output in win Lambert-Smith played five of the Chargers' 65 offensive snaps and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans.

Impact The rookie wideout from Auburn contributed more on special teams than offense in the Week 9 win, returning two kickoffs for 49 yards. Lambert-Smith has appeared in six games and caught just one of four targets this season, playing 82 total snaps (58 on offense, 24 on special teams). He's expected to remain a depth option at WR while serving as one of the Chargers' top kick returners in the Week 10 matchup against the Steelers.

Inactive against Indianapolis Lambert-Smith is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Lambert-Smith won't dress on Sunday as return specialist Derius Davis will serve as the fifth wide receiver for the Chargers. After breaking out in the preseason, the undrafted free agent hasn't had much of an opportunity in the regular season, recording his first career reception last week against Miami. This is the second game this season that he has been a healthy scratch.

Inactive Sunday Lambert-Smith is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Impact With Lambert-Smith not in the mix Sunday, Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, Keenan Allen, Tre' Harris and Derius Davis are the Chargers' available WRs versus Denver. Through his first two games this season, Lambert-Smith was on the field for 20 snaps on offense and didn't catch his lone target.

Can't bring in only target Lambert-Smith failed to secure his only target during the Chargers' 27-21 win over the Chiefs on Friday night.

Impact Lambert-Smith played 14 offensive snaps while rookie second-rounder Tre' Harris played just five snaps. On his only target, though, Harris managed an 11-yard completion, while Lambert-Smith finished catchless. Both rookies will again compete for reps behind starting wide receivers Ladd McConkey, Keenan Allen and Quentin Johnston as the Chargers prepare for a Monday night showdown on the road at Las Vegas in Week 2.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

No catches to close preseason Lambert-Smith did not record a reception on one target in Saturday's 30-23 preseason loss to the 49ers.

Impact The Chargers rested all of their starters, including fellow rookie Omarion Hampton. Lambert-Smith played in the team's first four offensive possessions and was targeted twice, once by Trey Lance and once by Taylor Heinicke -- though the latter was wiped out by a penalty. Lambert-Smith has been one of the key risers throughout the summer, and he could open the season as the team's fourth receiver, depending on the health and role of Tre Harris (undisclosed).

5 Takeaways: How Rookies Tre' Harris & KeAndre Lambert-Smith Turned Heads on Saturday Night Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh said Quentin Johnston suffered a concussion against the Rams

AUGUST 17, 2025 • CHARGERS.COM

Hype keeps building Lambert-Smith recorded two receptions on six targets for 66 yards in Saturday's 23-22 preseason loss to the Rams.

Impact Lambert-Smith entered the game on the Chargers' opening drive after Quentin Johnston (concussion) was injured, following Keenan Allen but prior to fellow rookie Tre Harris. The latter may have come down to the specific role Johnston left vacant, as both played well beyond the starters' departure from the contest. Regardless, Lambert-Smith is clearly in the mix for early playing time come the regular season, and he helped his cause by splitting double coverage for a 29-yard catch delivered by Justin Herbert on the first possession of the game.

Trey Lance Leads Chargers Over Lions 34-7 in Hall of Fame Game

Keeps rolling in preseason opener Lambert-Smith secured both targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in the Chargers' 34-7 preseason win over the Lions in Thursday night's Hall of Fame Game.

Impact Lambert-Smith set the pace for the Chargers in receiving yards while also sharing the team lead in receptions with multiple teammates. The rookie fifth-round pick, who's been standing out during the early stages of training camp, flashed his speed on a game-long 28-yard reception during Los Angeles' second possession, when he beat 2024 second-round pick Ennis Rakestraw down the right side of the field. Lambert-Smith then capped off his night with a 15-yard touchdown grab just past the two-minute mark of the second quarter, closing out a performance that served as an ideal carryover from Lambert-Smith's work on the practice field. The Auburn product is slotted in the latter portion of the Chargers' wide receiver depth chart at the moment, but he'll seemingly be given plenty of opportunity to make a case for a solid rookie-season rotational role on a team that's prioritized adding playmaking prowess to the offense all offseason.
