Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Logs one long catch in Week 9 loss
Lambert-Smith registered one catch (on four targets) for 50 yards in Sunday's loss to Houston.
Lambert-Smith wasn't exactly prolific in spite of logging a hearty 40 offensive snaps, but he made his one catch count, hauling in a 50-yard reception in the third quarter. However, the woeful Chargers turned the ball over on a fumble two plays later. Lambert-Smith has spent much of the season on IR and has had an inconsistent role when suiting up, but he was deployed pretty heavily Sunday because Ladd McConkey couldn't play due to back spasms. If McConkey is also sidelined next Monday in Baltimore, Lambert-Smith could again be a fairly big part of Los Angeles' air attack.

Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Two offensive snaps versus Rams
Lambert-Smith did not garner a target during Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Rams.
Lambert-Smith was expected to revert back to a minimal role on offense in Week 8 due to both Ladd McConkey and Tre' Harris returning to action, and that is exactly what happened. Lambert-Smith played just two offensive snaps in the contest, and he will continue to have little to no fantasy value as long as the rest of the Chargers' primary pass catchers are healthy.

Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Likely set for reduced role Week 8
Lambert-Smith is likely to drop down the wideout pecking order Sunday versus the Rams, as Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports that both Ladd McConkey (concussion) and Tre' Harris (hamstring) are set to return to action.
McConkey missed most of Week 6, and Harris sat out that contest altogether. As a result, Lambert-Smith logged an 87 percent offensive snap count, which he turned into his first five catches and 39 yards of the season on nine targets. However, the Chargers' bye week has provided enough time for McConkey and Harris to recover, so Lambert-Smith will probably go back to a very minor role on offense.

Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Draws nine targets in loss
Lambert-Smith caught five of nine targets for 32 yards during Sunday's 22-6 loss at Kansas City. He also lost a fumble.
Lambert-Smith drew 12 targets total over 10 games during his rookie season in 2025, so his involvement in Week 6 is eyebrow-raising. His 59 offensive snaps actually paced the Chargers' wide receivers Sunday, with Tre' Harris (hamstring) sidelined and Ladd McConkey knocked out of the contest early by a concussion. Offensive Coordinator Mike McDaniel notoriously covets players with breakaway speed, which Lambert-Smith definitely possesses (4.37-second 40-yard dash), so despite his putting the ball on the ground Sunday, McDaniel may continue to try to find ways to get Lambert-Smith involved as the campaign progresses.

Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Returning to action Sunday
Lambert-Smith (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
After being designated for return to practice this week, Lambert-Smith turned in a pair of limited sessions before upgrading to full participation Friday. He ultimately showed enough improvement in his recovery from the hamstring injury for the Chargers to clear him to play for the first time since Week 1. Lambert-Smith's return to action will bolster a receiving corps that will be without Tre' Harris (hamstring) in Week 6.

Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Comes off IR
The Chargers activated Lambert-Smith (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, and he is questionable for Sunday's matchup versus Kansas City.
Lambert-Smith suffered a hamstring injury in Week 1 against Arizona and has been sidelined since. He was able to post an LP/LP/FP practice log this week, but it's not yet certain that he'll suit up Sunday. Should Lambert-Smith be active, he could see some opportunities on offense given the injuries to fellow wideouts Tre' Harris (hamstring - out) and Brenen Thompson (quadriceps - questionable).

Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Tagged as questionable Week 6
Lambert-Smith (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against Kansas City.
Lambert-Smith has a chance to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's AFC West showdown. The second-year wideout was a full participant in Friday's practice, and if he's activated from IR, then he could operate in an elevated role on offense due to the absence of Tre' Harris (hamstring).

Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Limited in another practice
Lambert-Smith (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
One of six Chargers receivers on the Week 6 injury report, Lambert-Smith is the only one who isn't currently on the 53-man roster. He's been on injured reserve since Week 2 due to a hamstring injury, but after having his 21-day practice window opened Tuesday, Lambert-Smith could have a shot at suiting up this Sunday in Kansas City. He's been a limited participant in both of the first two practices of the week, so he may need to turn in a full session Friday in order for the Chargers to feel comfortable activating him.

Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Cleared to practice
The Chargers designated Lambert-Smith (hamstring) for return from injured reserve Tuesday.
The transaction opens up a 21-day window wherein Lambert-Smith can be evaluated in practice before the Chargers would need to add him to the 53-man roster. If Lambert-Smith is able to turn in multiple full practices in Week 6, he would stand a decent chance of being activated from IR ahead of Sunday's game in Kansas City. The Chargers could have a need for the 24-year-old Lambert-Smith to absorb some snaps at receiver after all of Ladd McConkey (foot), Quentin Johnston (chest) and Brenen Thompson (quadriceps) sat out this past Sunday's loss to the Broncos, while Tre' Harris (hamstring) exited the game early.

Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Lands on injured reserve
The Chargers placed Lambert-Smith (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Lambert-Smith suffered a significant hamstring injury during the Chargers' Week 1 loss against the Cardinals, warranting a stint on the IR. As such, the second-year pro will be required to miss at least the next four games and is eligible to return for Week 6 against the Chiefs on Sunday, Oct. 18, though he may need more time to recover. Gary Jennings was signed to the Chargers' 53-man roster in a corresponding move.

Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Set to miss time with hamstring injury
Lambert-Smith (hamstring) will miss some time after exiting Sunday's game against the Cardinals early, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.
Lambert-Smith exited the second half of Sunday's contest with a significant hamstring injury. The wide receiver will likely miss multiple weeks due to the issue. The Chargers will likely need to make some practice-squad elevations at wide receiver with Lambert-Smith out and Derius Davis (undisclosed) also dealing with an injury. No. 1 wide receiver Ladd McConkey (ribs) is also uncertain for Sunday's Week 2 game against the Raiders, leaving the team even thinner at the position.

Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Questionable to return, hamstring issue
Lambert-Smith (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Lambert-Smith exited the second half of Sunday's game. If the hamstring issue is anything other than a minor hit, the wide receiver will likely be required to miss time as he manages the issue. Derius Davis may see an increased role in the Chargers' passing offense in Lambert-Smith's absence.

Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Hauls in one pass during exhibition finale
Lambert-Smith caught his only target for 21 yards in Thursday's preseason loss to the Rams.
Lambert-Smith worked behind the starters and ended up logging 16 offensive snaps. Over the course of the exhibition slate, Lambert-Smith led the Chargers in receptions (seven), targets (11) and receiving yards (93). That could help him in his battle for positioning in the Chargers' WR pecking order, though Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris (undisclosed) are all comfortably ahead of him on the depth chart.

Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Four targets in blowout loss
Lambert-Smith caught two of four targets for 14 yards in Thursday night's 41-17 preseason loss to the 49ers.
Lambert-Smith also returned two punts for 15 total yards. The wide receiver played 34 percent of the Chargers' offensive snaps, garnering a decent amount of attention for the time he was on the field. The second-year player out of Auburn is fighting for position in the team's wide receiver corps, with Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston (lower body), Tre' Harris (undisclosed) and Brenen Thompson all currently set to see more snaps.

Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Drilling during OTAs
Lambert-Smith (hamstring) is participating during the Chargers' OTAs, Eric Smith of the team's official site reports.
Lambert-Smith played in only 10 games during his rookie season last year, in part because he was tending to a lingering hamstring injury. The Chargers' only big move at wide receiver during the offseason was selecting Brenen Thompson in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, and Lambert-Smith is one of a few players working on returning punts during offseason workouts, so now that he's back to full strength, he should have a realistic chance of snagging a spot on the 53-man roster for this season.
