  • Nasir Adderley: Retiring from NFL

    Adderley announced his retirement from the NFL on Thursday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Adderley posted a message that began with "after a period of self reflection, I have decided it's time for me to walk away from the game of football." He cited the desire to spend more time with his loved ones and preserve his health as the reasons behind the decision. The 25-year-old safety posted 232 tackles and three interceptions in four seasons with the Chargers.

  • Chargers' Nasir Adderley: Will play Week 13

    Adderley (thumb) has been ruled active for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Adderley sustained a thumb injury during the Chargers' Week 11 loss to the Chiefs, leaving him sidelined for last Sunday's win against the Cardinals. The starting free safety was spotted wearing a club on his injured right hand during practice Week 13, so it's possible he could still be limited against Las Vegas.

  • Chargers' Nasir Adderley: Listed as questionable

    Adderley (thumb) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Raiders.

    Adderley logged back-to-back limited sessions to start Week 13 prep before upgrading to full participation Friday. The safety sported a club on his right hand during practices this week, so if available, he figures to be somewhat limited against Las Vegas.

  • Chargers' Nasir Adderley: Back at practice Wednesday

    Adderley (thumb) was back at practice Wednesday and sported a club on his right hand, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Adderley initially suffered the thumb injury during Week 11 but appeared on track to suit up for Week 12 after logging back-to-back full practices to begin prep. However, he was downgraded to a non-participant Friday and was deemed doubtful for Sunday's matchup against Arizona. While the extent of Adderley's participation Wednesday remains unclear, it's certainly an encouraging sign to see the safety back in the mix following his absence.

  • Chargers' Nasir Adderley: Sitting out Sunday

    The Chargers have ruled out Adderley (thumb) for Sunday's contest at Arizona, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Adderley injured his thumb during last Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, but after he logged back-to-back full sessions to begin this week, he seemingly was in the clear to continue working as the Chargers' starting free safety Week 12. However, an absence from Friday's practice was followed by a doubtful designation, and he now won't suit up at all. In Adderly's place, Alohi Gilman is the likeliest candidate to fill in next to Derwin James in L.A's top defensive unit.

  • Chargers' Nasir Adderley: Doubtful for Week 12

    Adderley (thumb) is considered doubtful to play Sunday against the Cardinals, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Adderley was forced out with a thumb injury at some point during Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, though he still managed to record six tackles while playing 90 percent of the Bolts' defensive snaps in the contest. The 25-year-old was then a full participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday, though he appears to have taken a significant step back after logging a DNP on Friday. With Adderley likely to miss his first game of the season Week 12, expect JT Woods and Alohi Gilman to see increased usage alongside strong safety Derwin James.

  • Chargers' Nasir Adderley: Fully practices Wednesday

    Adderley (thumb) logged a full practice session Wednesday.

    Adderley injured his thumb Sunday against Kansas City and failed to play 100 percent of the Chargers' defensive snaps for just the second time this season. However, his ability to practice in full Wednesday suggests that he's in line to play versus Arizona in Week 12. Should Adderley regress, JT Woods and/or Alohi Gilman would likely see increased snaps.

  • Chargers' Nasir Adderley: Questionable to return

    Adderley is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Kansas City due to a thumb injury.

    Adderley racked up six tackles (two solo) to begin Sunday's matchup but went to the locker room in the fourth quarter. Alohi Gilman will likely see increased playing time if Adderley is unable to return.

  • Chargers' Nasir Adderley: Season-high seven tackles in loss

    Adderley recorded seven solo tackles, including one for loss, during Sunday's 37-23 loss to the Seahawks.

    Adderley recorded a season-high seven stops, tying Drue Tranquill for second on the team in tackles behind Derwin James. Aside from a Week 5 injury, Adderley has played every defensive snap for the Chargers this season, totaling 23 stops, one interception and one forced fumble.

  • Chargers' Nasir Adderley: Slated to start Monday

    Adderly was seen working with the Chargers' first-team defense during pregame warmups ahead of Monday's matchup with the Broncos, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Adderly lost his starting spot to Alohi Gilman during last week's win over Cleveland, as he recorded one tackle and played just six of his 19 total snaps on defense. However, the 25-year-old appears set to start again at free safety for this divisional matchup against Denver. Adderly totaled 15 tackles, one interception and one forced fumble while playing 100 percent of the Chargers' defensive snaps over the first four games of the season.

  • Chargers' Nasir Adderley: Succeeding with bigger role

    Adderley has been taking on more responsibility in the absence of Derwin James (contract dispute) during training camp, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Adderley has been quarterbacking the defense, while also demonstrating a greater grasp of the scheme heading into his fourth season. "You're able to look at the quarterback's tendencies," he said. "You're able to look at where the receivers align and the down-and-distances and all of that. When you're not thinking about what you have to do, you're able to look at a lot more." The results have been noticeable in camp so far, including interceptions on back-to-back days in practice.
