The Los Angeles Chargers are in dire need of wide receiver assistance, a situation highlighted by the recent signing of former player Alex Erickson to the New England Patriots' practice squad. Erickson, who played for the Chargers last season, had a modest impact with 16 receptions and one touchdown over eight games.

Meanwhile, the Chargers are considering the potential contributions of DJ Chark, who has struggled to stay on the field. With injuries affecting key players like Ladd McConkey and Jalen Reagor, the team faces tough decisions as they navigate their playoff aspirations.

The Los Angeles Chargers are keen to avoid facing Denver Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain in their upcoming Week 16 matchup, especially with their quarterback Justin Herbert dealing with injuries.

Surtain, who is a candidate for Defensive Player of the Year, is recovering from an ankle injury sustained in the previous game. The Chargers' wide receiver situation is also precarious, making Surtain's absence even more desirable for them.

Quentin Johnston, wide receiver for the Los Angeles Chargers, is facing uncertainty regarding his availability for the upcoming game against the Denver Broncos due to an ankle injury. Despite a strong performance last week, where he scored his eighth touchdown of the season, Johnston did not practice on Monday, raising concerns about his participation in the crucial matchup.

The Chargers are already struggling with injuries at the wide receiver position, with rookie Ladd McConkey also battling through issues and Jalen Reagor on injured reserve. If Johnston is unable to play, DJ Chark may be called upon to step up for the team.

The Los Angeles Chargers are hopeful about rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey's availability for their Week 15 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After missing last week's game against the Kansas City Chiefs due to injuries, McConkey will undergo a pregame workout to determine his status.

With limited depth at the position following Jalen Reagor's move to injured reserve, the Chargers are eager for McConkey to contribute despite his ongoing shoulder and knee issues.

The Los Angeles Chargers have signed wide receiver Dez Fitzpatrick to their practice squad ahead of their Week 15 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This move comes after the team waived offensive tackle Alex Leatherwood.

Fitzpatrick, a fourth-round draft pick in 2021, has had a tumultuous career, playing for multiple teams and recording five catches with one touchdown. His return follows an injury to Jalen Reagor during a recent game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
