Niemann was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, opening up a 21-day practice window, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports. Niemann was placed on injured reserve in late August with an undisclosed injury, forcing him to miss at least the team's first four games of the 2024 campaign. The linebacker will now have a 21-day window to return to practice and ultimately be added to the active roster. If the team fails to add him to the roster before the end of the 21 days, he'll revert to IR for the remainder of the season.

Niemann was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, opening up a 21-day practice window, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports. Niemann was placed on injured reserve in late August with an undisclosed injury, forcing him to miss at least the team's first four games of the 2024 campaign. The linebacker will now have a 21-day window to return to practice and ultimately be added to the active roster. If the team fails to add him to the roster before the end of the 21 days, he'll revert to IR for the remainder of the season.
Dicker made his lone extra-point try and missed one of two field-goal attempts in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Chiefs. Dicker connected on a 50-yard FGA to help give the Chargers a 10-0 lead in the first quarter. However, on their opening drive of the second half he had a 55-yard attempt that missed wide right, his first miss of the season. The 24-year-old is now 7-for-8 on FGAs this season, while he's 5-for-6 on PATs.
Henley finished with seven tackles (four solo) in the Chargers' 17-10 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday. The starting inside linebacker also played on 97 percent of the defensive snaps. Henley has 35 tackles (23 solo) and a pass defensed through four games this season.
Dupree finished with 2.0 sacks in the Chargers' 17-10 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday. The outside linebacker also played on more than half of the defensive snaps for the third week in a row. Dupree has six total tackles, two passes defensed and an interception this season.
Perryman finished with eight tackles (six solo) in the Chargers' 17-10 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday. The starting linebacker also played on 71 percent of the defensive snaps. Perryman has 30 tackles (22 solo), including 1.0 sacks, through four games this season.
James' suspension was lifted Monday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports. James was suspended for this past Sunday's loss to the Chiefs due to multiple violations of playing rules intended to protect the health and safety of players stemming from a hit he made on Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth in Week 3. With the Chargers on bye Week 5, James' next chance to build upon his 21 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, this season arrives Sunday, Oct. 13 at Denver.
Hurst caught one of his three targets for six yards in the 17-10 loss to Kansas City on Sunday. Hurst played more than his teammate Will Dissly (35 snaps to 20), but the Chargers' two-TE sets haven't been favorable for either player's pass-catching production. The team's run-heavy offensive scheme is limiting the fantasy upside of both tight ends, as neither Hurst nor Dissly have topped 35 yards in a game this season.
Dissly caught two of his three targets for 24 yards in the 17-10 loss to Kansas City on Sunday. Hayden Hurst saw the bigger side of the tight end platoon this week, tallying 35 snaps compared to Dissly's 20, but it was the latter who had the marginally better fantasy day. Neither tight end is in a viable fantasy situation given the Chargers' preference to run the ball and rely on their defense to keep games close.
