Chargers get a boost as KeAndre Lambert-Smith returns from IR ahead of Chiefs game
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith has returned from the reserve/injured list ahead of their upcoming game against the AFC West-leading Kansas City Chiefs. The team announced his activation on Saturday. Lambert-Smith had been sidelined with a hamstring injury since Week 1. On Sunday, the Chargers will face off against the Chiefs, who are currently leading the AFC West with a 4-0 record.
Lambert-Smith played a crucial role in the Chargers' previous victory over the Chiefs in December, catching a 16-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Justin Herbert in the first half. Additionally, the Chargers released wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling. To replace him, the team signed outside linebacker Caleb Murphy, who joined the active roster to fill the spot left by fullback Alec Ingold, who had gone on reserve/injured status.
To bolster their offensive line, the Chargers elevated Daniel Brunskill and cornerback Isas Waxter from the practice squad for Sunday’s game.
