The Los Angeles Chargers are gearing up for their NFL wild-card round playoff game against the Houston Texans with significant roster changes. The team has activated wide receiver Simi Fehoko and cornerback Eli Apple off injured reserve, utilizing their two allotted postseason injury reserve return spots. This strategic move comes at a critical time, as the Chargers deal with injuries at key positions.

In a surprising turn, cornerback Ja’Sir Taylor has been placed on injured reserve to accommodate these changes. Additionally, safety Eddie Jackson and running back Jaret Patterson have been elevated from the practice squad, providing the team with much-needed depth ahead of the playoff clash. However, fans will have to wait for the anticipated debut of running back Ezekiel Elliott, as his participation remains uncertain due to the ongoing roster adjustments. With injuries plaguing both the receiving corps and the secondary, the return of Fehoko and Apple provides a much-needed boost for Los Angeles as they prepare for the high-stakes matchup.
