  • Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Four catches in return

    Palmer recorded three receptions on four targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Chiefs.

    Palmer returned from a one-game absence caused by an elbow and calf issue. He finished tied for third on the team in targets -- behind Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston -- and did the majority of his damage on a 26-yard reception late in the third quarter. While it wasn't a particularly impressive performance, it was Palmer's highest yardage total in a game this season.

  • Chargers' Joshua Palmer: In clear for Week 4

    Palmer (elbow/calf) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    The pair of injuries kept Palmer from practicing Week 3 before he sat out a 20-10 loss to the Steelers, but after opening Week 4 prep with limited and full practices, he's on track to put an end to his one-game absence this Sunday versus the Chiefs. What's less clear is which quarterback Palmer might be working with, as Justin Herbert aggravated an ankle injury against Pittsburgh and has been limited in both of the Chargers' first Week 4 practices. If Herbert can't go, Palmer would find himself on the receiving end of targets from either Taylor Heinicke or Easton Stick.

  • Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Returns to limited practice

    Palmer (elbow/calf) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday.

    Palmer didn't practice at all Week 3, so his participation in Wednesday's session in a limited capacity offers hope that his absence from the lineup may last just one game. The wideout has two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Chiefs.

  • Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Not playing Week 3

    Palmer (elbow/calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    Though Palmer failed to practice in any fashion this week due to his pair of injuries, the Chargers still held out some hope the wideout could be available Sunday, as he was listed as questionable heading into the weekend. He'll ultimately miss his first game of the season, however, with his absence perhaps paving the way for either Simi Fehoko or Derius Davis to join Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey in three-receiver sets. The Chargers offense could end up skewing more run-heavy than usual, given the absence of Palmer along with the fact that quarterback Justin Herbert may be compromised a bit as he plays through a high-ankle sprain.

  • Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Status in question for Sunday

    Palmer (elbow/calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh.

    Palmer was held out of practice Wednesday and Thursday due to elbow and calf injuries, but neither concern is enough to rule him out for Week 3 action. In the end, his availability will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey would stand to benefit if Palmer is inhibited or sidelined this weekend, with Derius Davis, Simi Fehoko and Brenden Rice the other available wide receivers on the Chargers' active roster.

  • Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Misses Thursday's practice

    Palmer (calf/elbow) did not practice Thursday.

    Palmer played through a knee issue during the Chargers' win over the Panthers in Week 2, but he's now missed consecutive practices while being listed with two new injuries. He was at least present for Thursday's session, with Daniel Popper of The Athletic noting that Palmer was working out off to the side. Palmer will still need to upgrade to at least limited practice participation Friday in the Chargers' final session of the week to have a chance at playing Sunday in Pittsburgh.

  • Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Dealing with new injuries

    Palmer didn't practice Wednesday due to elbow and calf injuries.

    Palmer is listed with a new pair of injuries after being questionable last week due to a problem with his knee. He ended up playing in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Panthers, catching both of his targets for 19 yards while playing only 41 percent of snap on offense. It's possible his role will be scaled back again if he ends up playing this Sunday at Pittsburgh.

  • Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Minimal production against Panthers

    Palmer caught both of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Panthers.

    Through two weeks, Palmer has recorded just four catches for 34 yards. The veteran wideout has yet to establish himself as the Chargers' top option in the passing game, while teammates Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey have earned more attention for their roles in the offense. Nonetheless, Palmer will look to take a step forward in Week 3 when the Chargers visit the Steelers.

  • Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Suiting up Sunday

    Palmer (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

    After logging two limited practices, Palmer finished the week with a 'DNP' on Friday and headed into the weekend listed as questionable. With his availability Sunday versus Carolina confirmed, Palmer should continue to see his share of snaps and targets alongside fellow WRs Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston in the absence of any limitations or setbacks. Prior to being ejected late in the fourth quarter of the Chargers' Week 1 win over the Raiders, Palmer logged an 81percent snap share on offense en route to recording a 2/15/0 receiving line on four targets.

  • Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Fails to practice, listed questionable

    Palmer (knee) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

    Palmer downgraded to no participation Friday after two limited practices to begin the week, so he may be trending in the wrong direction. If Palmer joins DJ Chark (hip) on the sideline Sunday, Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey would be joined by Derius Davis, Simi Fehoko or Brenden Rice in three-receiver sets.

  • Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Likely to play Sunday

    Palmer (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, is "tracking to play," a source tells Adam Schefter of ESPN.

    Palmer failed to complete a full practice this week, turning in a pair of limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out Friday's session entirely. His absence Friday apparently wasn't the result of a setback and might have been precautionary more than anything, so Palmer is expected to be cleared to play when the Chargers release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Even if Palmer suits up as anticipated, he might have his snaps managed to some degree.

  • Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Questionable for Week 2

    Palmer (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

    Palmer was limited in practice throughout the week. He's coming off a disappointing season opener in which Palmer had just two catches for 15 yards before being ejected in the fourth quarter after getting into a fight with Raiders defensive back Jack Jones. On the bright side, Palmer doesn't appear to be facing any supplemental discipline from the team for his ejection.

  • Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Remains limited at practice

    Palmer (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday.

    Palmer was also limited Wednesday, but so far there's nothing to suggest that he's in much danger of missing Sunday's game against the Panthers. That said, the wideout will presumably need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid a Week 2 injury designation.
