Chargers | Justin Herbert will not be in Week 18 lineup Mon Dec 29, 04:38 PM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (hand) will not start the Week 18 game, according to head coach Jim Harbaugh.
| Footballguys view: With the Chargers locked into a playoff spot and playing for nothing but seeding in their regular-season finale against the Broncos, Herbert will not take the field. His surgically-repaired left hand hasn't been a huge issue, but it's wise to give the QB a week off heading into the postseason. Trey Lance will get the start. It's also worth noting that Harbaugh said other starters with "the most bruises" and need "the most healing" won't play. We'll be watching for more on that, while reminding you that RB Kimani Vidal sat out last week with a neck injury. |

| Footballguys view: Saturday afternoon against the Texans is going to provide a whole lot more challenges than the Cowboys' "defense" did last week for Herbert. In a tough matchup, we've got Herbert in the lower-tier QB1 or high-end QB2 range. |

Chargers | Kimani Vidal day-to-day Mon Dec 22, 03:09 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Kimani Vidal (neck) has been diagnosed with a neck strain and is considered day-to-day, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Vidal had to exit Sunday's eventual victory over the Cowboys early in the contest. In 12 games with 10 starts this season, Vidal leads the Chargers with 631 yards rushing. He's rushed for three touchdowns and caught 15 passes for 138 yards with a TD. The Chargers used Hassan Haskins to spell Omarion Hampton after Vidal exited the game. Haskins gained 14 yards on four carries. Playing the Texans on Saturday, the Chargers' first injury report of the week is due out on Tuesday. |
Chargers | Denzel Perryman suspended two games Mon Dec 22, 02:35 PM
Los Angeles Chargers LB Denzel Perryman has been suspended two games by the NFL for repeated violations of playing rules intended to protect the health and safety of players.
| Footballguys view: The NFL's announcement notes that Perryman was flagged for unnecessary roughness for delivering a forcible blow to the helmet of Cowboys receiver Ryan Flournoy while he was on the ground after making a catch during Sunday's game. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Perryman will appeal the suspension. Notably, this is Perryman's second two-game suspension for repeated violations of player-safety rules. The first came back in 2023 when he was playing for the Texans. Currently, Perryman is eligible to return to Los Angeles' active roster on Monday, Jan. 5, the day after the team's currently scheduled regular-season finale against the Broncos. |

Chargers | Kimani Vidal suffers neck injury Sun Dec 21, 07:01 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Kimani Vidal carried five times for 11 yards in Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys. He also suffered a neck injury in the game and did not appear to return.
| Footballguys view: Vidal got hurt in the second half, requiring trainers to tend to him on the field. Although his role has decreased since Omarion Hampton's return from injury, Vidal has remained an integral part of the offense. The Chargers used Hassan Haskins to spell Hampton after Vidal exited the game. Haskins gained 14 yards on four carries. Los Angeles did not provide an update on Vidal before the game ended. The Chargers face the Texans in Week 17. |
