Los Angeles Chargers practice squad RB Jaret Patterson and RB Amar Johnson were elevated to the active roster Saturday, Nov. 1, and will be available to play in Week 9.
| Footballguys view: Hasaan Haskins was placed on IR, so he's out the next four weeks. Kimani Vidal is the starter, and guys like Patterson can work into the mix as a reserve for the Chargers. |

Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert completed 37 of his 55 passes for 420 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in a 38-24 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7. He added 31 rushing yards on six carries.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers put up just 141 yards in the first half, but Herbert got things going in the second half, finding rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden II (seven receptions for 164 yards and a touchdown) and Keenan Allen (11/119/1) for big plays. The Chargers QB put up a career-high 421 passing yards with three TDs. With the turnovers and a defense that couldn't get stops, it wasn't nearly enough to avoid a third loss in four games. The Chargers face the Vikings on Thursday night in Week 8. |

Link to storyChargers rookie TE Oronde Gadsden II turned a Week 6 breakout into an even bigger one in Week 7 when he went off for six receptions, 156 receiving yards, and a touchdown on eight targets.
| Footballguys view: Gadsden has emerged as a serious receiving threat over the last two weeks. Once the free agent signing of Tyler Conklin ultimately failed after the first few weeks, the team turned to Gadsden for most of the tight end snaps. Against the Colts, he became the first Chargers tight end with 100 yards in a game since Hunter Henry in 2019. Gadsden will be the top priority waiver addition at any position this week. |

Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (hamstring) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 17, and is not on the injury report for Week 7.
| Footballguys view: Full participation on Friday helps us feel a bit more confident about starting Johnston this week. After missing a week, we're right back to ranking him as a low-end WR1. Johnston has been enjoying a Year 3 breakout this year and hopes to continue it against the Colts. |

Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 17, and is not on the injury report for Week 7.
| Footballguys view: Allen's DNP on Wednesday was nothing but preferential treatment for a long-time vet. Allen has cooled off somewhat since his strong start to the season. Still, the volume has been there, and he is a trusted presence in the red zone. We're ranking him as a back-end WR2. |
