Chargers make roster moves ahead of Week 6 matchup vs. Chiefs

The Los Angeles Chargers initiated a series of roster changes prior to their Week 6 encounter against the Kansas City Chiefs. Wide receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith was activated from injured reserve, while Marquez Valdes-Scantling was released from the team. The announcement of these roster moves was made available to the public through a press release and a tweet from the team's official account.

Lambert-Smith had missed the initial five games of the 2026 season owing to a hamstring injury. On Friday, the Chargers had placed him as questionable for the upcoming game against the Chiefs, suggesting that he would make his season debut in this match. The team's wide receiver roster is already depleted, making Lambert-Smith's contribution crucial for the Chargers to secure their first victory of the season. The Chargers are significant underdogs in this game, with a spread of +7.5.
