2026 NFL Power Rankings Week 2: Which Teams Suffered The Worst Opening Losses?

KeAndre Lambert-Smith - Set to miss time with hamstring injury Lambert-Smith (hamstring) will miss some time after exiting last Sunday's game against the Cardinals early, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

Impact Lambert-Smith exited the second half of last Sunday's contest with a significant hamstring injury. The wide receiver will likely miss multiple weeks due to the issue. The Chargers will need to look for some practice squad elevations at wide receiver with Lambert-Smith out and Derius Davis (undisclosed) also dealing with an injury. No. 1 wide receiver Ladd McConkey (ribs) is also dealing with an injury, leaving the team even thinner at the position.

Elijah Molden - Day-to-day with hamstring issue Molden (hamstring) did not return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

Impact Molden exited the third quarter of last Sunday's contest with a hamstring injury and is now day-to-day as he deals with the issue. If the starting free safety cannot participate in multiple limited practices or full practices throughout Week 2, he will likely not be able to suit up for next Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Derius Davis - Injured during interception Davis (undisclosed) is day-to-day with an injury he suffered during Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact Davis appears to have been injured on Justin Herbert's fourth-quarter interception as safety Andrew Wingard crushed him in the process of catching the ball. The wide receiver's status for next Sunday's game against the Raiders will depend on his practice participation throughout Week 2.

Kimani Vidal - Sees little playing time Week 1 Vidal played five snaps (four on offense, one on special teams) and didn't show up on the box score otherwise during then Chargers' 26-14 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.

Impact Vidal was an afterthought in the Chargers' plans on offense, with Omarion Hampton (32 snaps) and Keaton Mitchell (17) collectively getting the bulk of the backfield work in Week 1. Vidal was also not used as a returner, though that could change for Week 2 against the Raiders on Sept. 20 if Derius Davis (undisclosed) was ruled out for that contest.

Oronde Gadsden - Catches two passes in limited action Gadsden caught both of his targets for 32 yards during the Chargers' 26-14 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.

Impact Gadsden's 10 snaps on offense were a distant third among Chargers tight ends behind Charlie Kolar and David Njoku (30 each), with Gadsden also seeing the field for eight snaps on special teams. The second-year tight end did connect with Justin Herbert on a 26-yard pass in the second quarter, and Gadsden could see his role in the passing game expand in Week 2 against the Raiders if wide receiver Ladd McConkey (ribs) were to be sidelined.

When will Ladd McConkey return? Chargers WR dealing with rib injury Ladd McConkey suffered a rib injury in Week 1. Will he play in Week 2? Here are the latest updates on the Chargers wide receiver.

David Njoku - Brings in all five targets in Week 1 loss Njoku caught five passes on as many targets for 58 yards during the Chargers' 26-14 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.

Impact Njoku's 30 snaps on offense were tied with Charlie Kolar for most among Chargers tight ends, yet it was the former that was more heavily involved in the passing game, co-leading the team in catches while finishing second in both targets and yards behind wideout Ladd McConkey (ribs). Four of Njoku's five catches went for 10-plus yards, with three of those receptions resulting in first downs. Njoku's role in the Chargers' passing attack could expand for Week 2 against the Raiders this Sunday if McConkey was not cleared to play.

Charlie Kolar - No offensive output Week 1 Kolar played 43 snaps (30 on offense, 13 on special teams) without showing up in the box score otherwise during the Chargers' 26-14 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.

Impact Kolar and David Njoku tied for the most offensive snaps among Chargers tied ends Sunday with Oronde Gadsden (10 snaps) a distant third. Kolar did not see a target from Justin Herbert during Sunday's loss, though that's not entirely surprising considering he posted a 10-142-2 receiving line (on 15 targets) across 17 regular-season games with the Ravens last year. Gadsden and Njoku figure to operate as the Chargers' pass-catching tight ends this season, with Kolar more heavily involved as a blocker and in goal line packages as an occasional red zone threat.

Tre' Harris - Logs three catches Week 1 Harris caught three of six targets for 20 yards in Sunday's loss to Arizona.

Impact Harris tied for the second-most targets on his team, but he couldn't do much with those looks. Fellow wideout Quentin Johnston didn't do any better, catching just two of his six targets for 17 yards, yet both wideouts might be asked to step up if Ladd McConkey (ribs) isn't able to play next Sunday versus Las Vegas. Harris also logged nine special-teams snaps Sunday, but he wasn't a major contributor in that regard last season.
