Zion Johnson - Appears clear of ankle injury Johnson (ankle) does not appear on the Chargers' estimated injury report Monday.

Impact Johnson was removed from Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay due to an ankle issue and was replaced by Jamaree Salyer at left guard. Los Angeles held a walkthrough rather than a full practice Monday, but it's nonetheless a good sign for Johnson's health that he doesn't have a designation on the injury report. Unless Johnson pops up on the injury report Tuesday or Wednesday, he should be good to go for Thursday's Week 16 game against Denver.

Denzel Perryman - Estimated as limited Monday Perryman (groin) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report.

Impact Perryman has missed the Chargers' last four contests, but he was listed as questionable ahead of Week 15 after practicing on a limited basis all week. It would seem to suggest he's nearing a return. The Chargers play the Broncos on Thursday night.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Otito Ogbonnia - Sidelined to start week Ogbonnia (pelvis) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.

Impact Ogbonnia's status is only an estimate as the Chargers held a walkthrough to begin their prep for a game against the Broncos on Thursday. The UCLA product played a season-high 40 snaps on defense in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, but likely suffered the injury late in the game.

Elijah Molden - Sits out practice Molden (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.

Impact Molden may have picked up a knee injury during Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. It's worth noting the Chargers only held a walkthrough Monday, so the Washington product's participation level is only an estimate. A clearer picture of his status for Thursday's game against the Broncos will likely come closer to their Week 16 kickoff.

Cam Hart - Logs DNP Hart (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.

Impact Hart suffered a concussion during Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, so it's not surprising he wouldn't be able to practice the next day. However, with the Chargers on a short week and hosting the Broncos on Thursday, the team only held a walkthrough and his participant level was only an estimate. Either way, Hart will likely have a tough time clearing the league's five-step concussion protocols in time to suit up for Week 16.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Justin Herbert - Estimated as limited Monday Herbert (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report.

Impact Herbert has been dealing with ankle and thigh issues for the last couple weeks, and he appeared to aggravate the ankle in Sunday's loss to the Bucs, though he missed just one offensive snap. The limited start to the week would suggest Herbert has a good chance to suit up Thursday night against the Broncos. If Herbert isn't cleared to play, Taylor Heinicke would likely draw in as the starter.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Quentin Johnston - Dealing with ankle injury Johnston (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report.

Impact The ankle injury is new for Johnston, so it bears monitoring his practice statuses over the next couple of days ahead of Thursday night's game against the Broncos. Johnston's 73 percent snap share against the Bucs on Sunday was right in line with his norm, so it's unclear when he was injured. He finished with a 5-45-1 receiving line on a season-high 10 targets. If Johnston were to miss Week 16, Joshua Palmer, Jalen Reagor and DJ Chark would be in line to handle outside wide receiver snaps, with rookie Ladd McConkey spending most of his time in the slot.
