The Los Angeles Chargers suffered a setback when tight end David Njoku was placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury, effectively sidelining him for at least four games. This development comes after the team's loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, leaving them winless through two games this season. Other players who are currently sidelined include center Tyler Biadasz and linebacker Denzel Perryman, all listed on injured reserve (IL). Additionally, tight end Charlie Kolar is not expected to join IR despite undergoing surgery for his forearm injury. Several other Chargers were absent from practice due to various injuries: DL Dalvin Tomlinson (hamstring), S Elijah Molden (hamstring), OL Trey Pipkins (knee), WR Brenen Thompson (quad), and LG Kayode Awosika (fibula). The team also signed wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, a veteran with 69 starts in his eight-year NFL career, to bolster their roster.
