Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Makes three kicks in Week 5 loss
Dicker made his lone field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries during the Chargers' 23-17 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.
Dicker got the Chargers on the board with a 42-yard field goal in the second quarter before adding two PATs in the second half. Dicker has attempted one field goal or zero in three of the first five games of the regular season and has yet to make a field goal from 50-plus yards. He's 7-for-9 on field-goal attempts and 9-for-9 on extra-point tries heading into a Week 6 road matchup Oct. 18 against the Chiefs, who are coming off a bye.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Ends up sitting out Week 5 loss
McConkey (foot) was active but didn't play any snaps in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Broncos.
Initially labeled as week-to-week by head coach Jim Harbaugh at the beginning of Week 5 prep, McConkey didn't practice in any fashion Wednesday through Friday but was still listed as questionable heading into Sunday. Though he ultimately suited up against Denver, McConkey looks to have been active only in an emergency since the Chargers had two other wideouts (Quentin Johnston and Brenen Thompson) sitting out with more worrisome injuries. The Chargers' depth was further tested when Tre' Harris (hamstring) left Sunday's game early, resulting in the team finishing with just three healthy receivers. McConkey's practice activity will bear watching this week to determine whether he has a more legitimate chance at playing meaningful snaps next Sunday in Kansas City.

Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Aonther TD in Week 5
Vidal tallied eight carries for 57 yards and one touchdown, one catch (on two targets) for minus-1 yard and returned three kicks for 75 yards during Sunday's 23-17 defeat to the Broncos.
After opening the season with no touches through the first two games -- and just two in Week 3 -- Vidal has taken full advantage of his 16 over the last two contests, turning them into 92 yards from scrimmage and two TDs. All three of the Chargers' running backs got in the mix Sunday, with Omarion Hampton earning 15 touches and Keaton Mitchell getting six, but Vidal was the only one of the trio with an end-zone visit. Considering his recent success, Vidal appears likely to hold on to a regular role next Sunday at Kansas City.

Chargers' Justin Herbert: Two more turnovers in Week 5
Herbert completed 14 of 24 passes for 121 yards, one touchdown and one interception, reeled off 54 yards on six carries and fumbled twice (one lost) during Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Broncos.
Herbert's season-low number of pass attempts amounted to by far his lowest yardage total through the air through five contests this season. He also turned over the ball two times, which resulted in two late made field goals for Denver (i.e. the margin of defeat) and bringing his total on the campaign to nine (seven INTs, two lost fumbles). Granted, Herbert was working without WR Quentin Johnston (chest, inactive), while Ladd McConkey (foot) was active but doesn't appear to have played a snap, so the deck was stacked against him versus a tough defense. Herbert's next chance to get right is next Sunday versus the 4-0 Chiefs.

Chargers' Omarion Hampton: Musters 39 total yards in Week 5
Hampton turned 14 carries into 33 yards and one target into a six-yard catch during Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Broncos.
Hampton has found room to run in the Chargers' mostly stagnant offense difficult to come by so far this season, averaging 3.7 YPC through five games after going for 4.4 as a rookie in 2025. And on Sunday in particular, he had to contend with fellow RBs Kimani Vidal (nine touches) and Keaton Mitchell (six) mixing into the action a decent amount. Due to ceding those reps to his backfield mates, Hampton's weekly ceiling doesn't appear to be as high as it may have seemed heading into the campaign.

Chargers' Bud Dupree: Downgrades to out Sunday
Dupree (neck) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Dupree exited the third quarter of Sunday's contest with a neck injury. The linebacker was originally questionable to return, but after extended evaluation, the injury has apparently been deemed severe enough to eliminate Dupree from the rest of the Chargers' divisional showdown with the Broncos.

Chargers' Tre' Harris: Dealing with hamstring injury
Harris (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Broncos.
Harris is dealing with an apparent hamstring injury, and his availability for the stretch run of Sunday's matchup is now up in the air. In his absence, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Derius Davis will likely slot into more prominent roles on offense.

Chargers' Bud Dupree: Exits with neck injury

Chargers' Branson Taylor: Available in Week 5
Taylor (shoulder) is available for Sunday's game against Denver, Eric Smith of the team's official site reports.
Taylor logged consecutive limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday. After practicing in full Friday and being activated from injured reserve Saturday, he will be out there in Week 5 versus the Broncos.

Chargers' Rodney Shelley: Inactive in Week 5
Shelly (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Broncos, Eric Smith of the team's official site reports.
Shelly has been dealing with the hamstring injury for at least a few weeks. After suiting up in the Chargers' first four games of the 2026 campaign, he will finally sit out in Week 5 against Denver.

Chargers' Scott Matlock: Active versus Denver
Matlock (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Eric Smith of the team's official site reports.
Matlock was activated off injured reserve Saturday, so despite carrying a questionable designation, most assumed he would be back on the field after sitting out the first four games of the 2026 campaign.

Chargers' Charlie Kolar: Returning in Week 5
Kolar (forearm) is active for Sunday's game against Denver, Eric Smith of the team's official site reports.
Kolar missed the last two games but will return despite practicing in a limited capacity during the week. With Kolar active in Week 5, Oronde Gadsden is expected to slide back to the No. 2 spot on the tight-end depth chart.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Active Sunday
McConkey (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Eric Smith of the Chargers' officials site reports.
Following an aggravation of a foot injury last Sunday at Seattle, McConkey was held out of drills during Week 5 prep but still entered the weekend listed as questionable to suit up. Adam Schefter of ESPN then reported Sunday morning that McConkey wasn't slated to play, and while the wide receiver actually is in uniform, he isn't expected to have a significant role, per Schefter. If that comes to pass, Tre' Harris likely will serve as the No. 1 WR for QB Justin Herbert, while Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Derius Davis and Theo Wease are the other players available at the position aside from McConkey.
