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.
