Records two catches in Week 15 Matlock played 36 of the Chargers' 66 snaps on offense and recorded two catches for nine yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Chiefs.

Impact Listed at 6-foot-4 and 296 pounds, Matlock began his career as a defensive lineman but has played primarily as a fullback since Jim Harbaugh took over as the Chargers' head coach in 2024. He's typically been deployed mainly as a lead blocker and pass protector, but Matlock ended up seeing a couple of short-yardage targets from quarterback Justin Herbert in Sunday's win. Matlock's last reception had come back in Week 9, when he hauled in a two-yard pass for his first NFL touchdown in a 27-20 win over the Titans.

Cleared to play Week 11 Matlock is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars after he had been listed as questionable due to a chest injury.

Impact Despite carrying a designation into the weekend, Matlock never appeared to be at any major risk of missing the contest after he practiced fully Thursday and Friday. Through the Chargers' first 10 games, the fullback/defensive lineman has recorded two receptions for three yards and a touchdown to go with eight tackles, a sack and a pass breakup.

Won't play Week 6 Matlock has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to a personal matter.

Impact Matlock is the only active fullback on the Chargers' roster, so offensive coordinator Greg Roman could deploy tight ends Tucker Fisk, Tyler Conklin and rookie fifth-rounder Oronde Gadsden in the backfield to serve as additional blockers. Matlock's next opportunity to play is Week 7 against the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 19.

Shows off versatility in 2024 Matlock appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the Chargers this season, making four catches on five targets for 28 yards, while also recording seven combined tackles and 1.0...

Impact Matlock appeared in all three phases of the game this year, playing snaps on offense at fullback, working on the edge on defense, and also seeing work on special teams. His work at fullback was a new wrinkle in his repertoire this year after he played on the other side of the ball exclusively in his rookie campaign. With two years remaining on his rookie contract, Matlock should have more time in Los Angeles to develop his skills out of the backfield.
