  • Chargers' Junior Colson: Activated off IR

    The Chargers activated Colson (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday.

    Colson was sidelined for the Chargers' last four games due to an ankle injury. He was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, and after logging a full practice Friday, it appears the rookie third-rounder is ready to return for Sunday's AFC West clash against the Chiefs.

  • Chargers' Junior Colson: Could return Sunday

    Colson (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs.

    The rookie linebacker from Michigan was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday and practiced in full Friday, giving himself a good chance to play Sunday. Colson must still be activated to the Chargers' active roster in order to play in Week 14. If he's activated, he'll likely serve as a depth piece in the team's linebacker corps while also contributing on special teams.

  • Chargers' Junior Colson: Designated to return from IR

    The Chargers designated Colson (ankle) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Colson has been sidelined for the Chargers' last four games due to an ankle injury he suffered in Week 9 against the Browns. The rookie third-round pick was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, and he'll likely have to log at least one full practice session this week in order to have a chance at being activated off IR ahead of Sunday's AFC West clash against the Chiefs.

  • Chargers' Junior Colson: Shifts to IR

    Colson (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

    Colson sustained an ankle injury in the Chargers' Week 9 win over the Browns, and his placement on IR on Wednesday suggests the issue is serious. The 2024 third-round pick from Michigan recorded 14 total tackles and one pass defended across six games before his injury. He'll now be forced to miss the Chargers next four games, with his earliest possible return coming in Week 14's matchup against the Chiefs.

  • Chargers' Junior Colson: Downgraded to out

    Colson (ankle) will not return to Sunday's game versus the Browns.

    Colson exited with an ankle injury, which is severe enough to keep him from returning. As a result, Troy Dye will likely back up Denzel Perryman at inside linebacker.

  • Chargers' Junior Colson: Considered questionable to return

    Colson is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup with the Browns due to an ankle injury.

    It is unclear how serious the ankle injury is for Colson. In his absence, Troy Dye is the likely candidate to backup Denzel Perryman at inside linebacker.

  • Chargers' Junior Colson: Advances to full practice

    Colson (hamstring) was a full practice participant Thursday.

    A hamstring issue sidelined Colson both Week 3 and Week 4 ahead of the Chargers' Week 5 bye. The rookie linebacker logged a limited practice session Wednesday, but his step up to a full session Thursday suggests that he's in line to return to action Sunday versus Denver. Troy Dye could be limited to a special-teams role upon Colson's return.

  • Chargers' Junior Colson: Still managing hamstring injury

    Colson (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Colson missed the Chargers' last two games due to a hamstring injury he sustained in Week 2 against the Panthers. Los Angeles is coming off a bye, but it appears the rookie third-round pick is continuing to work through the hamstring issue. Colson's practice participation over the next two days will provide a better idea of his status heading into Sunday's game against the Broncos.

  • Chargers' Junior Colson: Won't play Week 4

    Colson (hamstring) did not practice Friday and has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

    Colson will sit for a second straight week due to a hamstring injury he sustained in Week 2 against the Panthers. He has been unable to practice since his injury, but with the Chargers on a bye next week, he'll have more time to rehab and heal up ahead of Week 6 against the Broncos on Oct. 13. With Colson out Sunday, Troy Dye will once again serve as a rotational inside linebacker behind starters Daiyan Henley and Denzel Perryman.

  • Chargers' Junior Colson: Misses Wednesday's practice

    Colson (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Colson exited the Chargers' Week 3 loss to the Steelers with a hamstring injury, and it appears that issue stopped him from practicing Wednesday. Colson's participation Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of his potential availability in Week 4, but he'll likely need to practice in some capacity to face Kansas City on Sunday.

    Colson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

  • Chargers' Junior Colson: Dealing with hamstring issue

    Colson (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game at Carolina.

    Colson was able to get to the Chargers' locker room under his own power. Until he's again healthy enough for football activities, though, the Chargers will probably have to lean more heavily on Denzel Perryman for snaps at linebacker than normal.

  • Chargers' Junior Colson: Activated off NFI list

    Colson was activated from the Chargers' active/non-football illness list Tuesday after passing his physical, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Colson landed on the NFI list after undergoing an appendectomy prior to the start of training camp. He appears to have fully recovered from the procedure, and he will be able to participate in practice and preseason games. Colson was selected by the Chargers in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 69th overall. He earned Second-Team All-Big Ten Conference honors in his final season in Michigan and led the team with 95 tackles.

  • Chargers' Junior Colson: Appendectomy causes NFI stint

    Head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters Wednesday that Colson's placement on the active/non-football illness list is due to an appendectomy, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

    The rookie linebacker out of Michigan was placed on Los Angeles' active/non-football illness list one week ago, and the timetable for his return is currently unknown. Once Colson recovers from his appendectomy, he's expected to serve as one of the Chargers' top inside linebackers.
