Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DJ Chark (groin) wasn't listed on the team's Week 10 injury report on Wednesday, meaning that he was able to put in a full practice. Chark was activated from Injured Reserve last Saturday but did not play in the Week 9 win over the Cleveland Browns. The fact that the 28-year-old is completely off the injury report to begin Week 10 preparation is a good sign for his chances of being active this Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, though. It will be a boost to LA's receiving corps, but the former second-round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2018 out of LSU should remain on the waiver wire in standard 12-team fantasy leagues. Chark has yet to play in 2024 and will be the team's WR4 behind Quentin Johnston, rookie Ladd McConkey and Joshua Palmer.
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DJ Chark (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. He had been listed as questionable after finishing the week with back-to-back limited practices. Even though Chark was a full participant in practice and was activated from injured reserve this weekend, he's going to be sidelined for at least one more week. Evidently, Chark wasn't going to have much of a role on offense behind Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, and Josh Palmer.
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DJ Chark (groin) was activated from the injured reserve list on Saturday. The veteran wideout has been sidelined since the preseason because of a groin injury. However, even though there is potential for Chark to get work versus the Cleveland Browns, fantasy managers may want to pump the brakes before putting him in the lineup, especially with Quentin Johnston (ankle) back in the mix after missing time with an ankle injury.
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DJ Chark (groin) is questionable for Sunday's road outing against the Cleveland Browns. Chark has yet to be activated from the injured reserve after injuring his groin right before the start of the season. However, the 28-year-old was able to log two full practice sessions to close out the week, so perhaps this is the week he'll make his season debut. Even if he suits up, it will be difficult to trust the former second-round pick in his first game back to action as his role in the offense is unclear. Especially with the impending return of fellow wideout Quentin Johnston (ankle). While Chark may carve out a role for himself on the field, he's unlikely to provide a noteworthy fantasy impact.
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DJ Chark (groin) has been upgraded to a full participant during Thursday's practice session. The veteran wideout was limited to open the week, but appears to be doing better now. Chark has a chance at making his season debut against the Cleveland Browns in Week 9. His return would be a welcoming sight for the Chargers, but it's hard to trust Chark in fantasy formats right now. Both Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston figure to be ahead of him on the pecking order on an offense that is already run-heavy.
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DJ Chark (groin) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. The veteran wide receiver was designated to return from injured reserve earlier this month and appears to be getting closer to making his return. Chark hasn't played yet this year, but he was solid in Carolina last season, contributing 35 catches for 525 yards and five touchdowns. However, with players like Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, and Josh Palmer making a strong impression, fantasy managers shouldn't expect Chark to carve out a significant role on offense upon his activation.
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DJ Chark Jr. (groin) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the New Orleans Saints. The 28-year-old has yet to take the field as a Charger. However, he's moving in the right direction after logging three limited practices throughout the week. Los Angeles is hurting on the offensive side of the ball, with Quentin Johnston (ankle) doubtful and Ladd McConkey (hip) questionable. If Chark is active for this one, he could see limited snaps. But if McConkey and Johnston are ruled out, Chark would enter the flex conversation
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DJ Chark (groin) was again listed as limited in his team's first practice of the week. It's Chark's fourth straight limited session since the Chargers activated his 21-day practice window last Wednesday. The 28-year-old was placed on Injured Reserve just one day before the team's season opener. He may return to the field this Sunday when LA squares off against the visiting New Orleans Saints. The Chargers could certainly stand to use him, considering fellow wideouts Ladd McConkey (hip), Quentin Johnston (ankle), and Derius Davis (ankle) were all tagged with DNPs on Wednesday, as were tight ends Will Dissly (shoulder) and Hayden Hurst (groin). LA could be looking at a severely depleted pass-catching corps if things don't change in short order. Expect a better indication of Chark's status for Week 8 over the coming days.
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DJ Chark (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Chark was recently designated to return from the injured reserve and could make his season debut on Monday. He has been limited in practice this week, but still has a chance of suiting up. The Chargers could certainly use the help with Quentin Johnston (ankle) and Ladd McConkey (hip) both on the injury report as well. If both of them sit, Chark could have a bigger role on Monday, but isn't expected to be a significant contributor on the run-heavy Chargers offense.
Ladd McConkey, D.J. Chark Jr. Both Limited Again Friday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Ladd McConkey (hip) and D.J. Chark (groin) were both limited practice participants for the second time this week on Friday. With wideout Quentin Johnston (ankle) and tight end Hayden Hurst (groin) both listed as DNP, Los Angeles will hope to have at least one of Chark Jr. and McConkey ready for their Monday Night Football matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The former returned to practice this week for the first time since being designated for injured reserve before the season opener and looks to taste his first action of 2024. The latter briefly exited the team's Week 6 win over the Denver Broncos with a head injury, but the hip ailment is new and must be monitored. Wide receiver Simi Fehoko returned to full practice and would be in line for an uptick in snaps if Chark Jr., McConkey, and Johnston cannot play. Also, Brenden Rice and Derius Davis would work behind Joshua Palmer in the matchup.
