Chargers sign Hall from practice squad, place Rodgers on IR

Cornerback Kemon Hall was signed to the Los Angeles Chargers' active roster on Saturday after tight end Richard Rodgers was placed on injured reserve

DECEMBER 10, 2022 • Associated Press

Lands on IR Rodgers (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Impact The backup tight end played a combined 13 offensive snaps over the past two weeks, but Rodgers was a bit more of an offensive factor for the Chargers when Gerald Everett was limited by a knee injury earlier in November. Expect undrafted rookie Stone Smartt to continue surging up the depth chart in Rodgers' absence.

Iffy for Week 14 Rodgers is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Miami due to a knee injury.

Impact Rodgers landed on the injury report Friday as a non-participant in the Chargers' final Week 14 practice. If the backup tight end is ruled out against Miami, Stone Smartt and Tre' McKitty would be the only healthy options behind Gerald Everett.

Another playing-time boost Rodgers did not record a target in the 30-27 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Impact Rodgers did see 21 offensive snaps with Gerald Everett (groin) sidelined, but that wasn't enough to elicit a target. Both Rodgers and nominal starter Tre' McKitty did not see any passing looks among the tight ends as the lone pass attempt ended up going to third-stringer Stone Smartt in a bit of a junk-time checkdown. Expect Rodgers' playing time to fall to the wayside upon Everett's return.

Sees increase in playing time Rodgers caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the 49ers

Impact The veteran castoff saw 13 snaps Sunday after Gerald Everett was forced to leave the game with a groin injury. While Tre' McKitty would likely see a significant increase in snaps if Everett were to miss extended time, Rodgers could also see a bump in playing time as the nominal pass-catching tight end of the pair.

Bumped up from practice squad The Chargers signed Rodgers off their practice squad Wednesday.

Impact Rodgers was elevated on game day for each of the Chargers' first three games, recording one target over 12 offensive snaps played. The 30-year-old has provided depth behind Tre' McKitty while the Bolts' No. 2 tight end Donald Parham (hamstring) has been sidelined so far this season. Rodgers likely will continue to see limited usage until Parham suits up again.

Reverts to practice squad Rodgers reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Rodgers played on just three of the Bolts' 61 offensive snaps during his last available practice squad elevation with the team Sunday. The 30-year-old tight end was not targeted for the second game in a row, though he did see his first special-teams action of the season (two snaps). Rodgers essentially served as the Chargers' third-string tight end with Donald Parham (hamstring) sidelined the past three weeks, though he'll need to receive an active roster spot in order to play for the team moving forward in 2022.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Impact This will be the third consecutive week Rodgers is active for the Chargers and the last time he's eligible to be elevated from the practice squad before he would have to be signed to the team's active roster in order to suit up. The 30-year-old tight end has operated primarily as a blocker and has seen just one target through two games this season.

Goes on PUP list Rodgers (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Wednesday.

Impact Rodgers spent the majority of 2021 on the Eagles' practice squad and will certainly be in a battle for a roster spot once he is healthy in camp. Formally a consistent contributor on the Packers, Rodgers hasn't had the same impact in Philadelphia over his previous four seasons. With no obvious option behind Dallas Goedert, Rodgers will work to make an impact this season.

Makes four appearances in 2021 Rodgers finished the 2021 campaign with two catches for 11 yards across four appearances.

Impact Rodgers spent the majority of the season on the practice squad, but he was elevated in back-to-back weeks following the trade of Zach Ertz at the end of October. However, both of Rodgers' catches came against the Cowboys in Week 18, when he played a season-high 37 snaps. He suited up for the Eagles' wild-card loss to Tampa Bay, but he saw a season-low three snaps. The 30-year-old is set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but it's unclear if he will draw much interest from around the league.

Back with Philly's practice squad The Eagles signed Rodgers to their practice squad Wednesday.

Impact With Zach Ertz jettisoned to Arizona, the Eagles have elected to bring back Rodgers for his third stint with Philadelphia this season. Jack Stool is the only healthy tight end on the Eagles' active roster heading into Week 7, so Rodgers is a likely candidate to be promoted from the practice squad for Sunday's contest against the Raiders.

Released by Philly The Eagles cut Rodgers on Tuesday, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Rodgers appeared in 14 games for the Eagles last season, catching 24 of 31 targets for 345 yards and two touchdowns. The 29-year-old was thought to be in a position for a bigger role this season, as Zach Ertz was on the trading block for most of the offseason, but it appears to be the other way around. Jack Stoll is likely to be the No. 3 tight end behind Dallas Goedert and Ertz.
