Back on active roster The Chargers activated Chark (groin) from injured reserve Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game at Cleveland.

Impact Chark is closing in on his season debut, and considering he capped Week 9 prep with back-to-back full practices, he may be able to make an instant impact in the Chargers' receiving corps, assuming he's made active about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If that comes to pass, Chark will have to contend with rookie Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, Joshua Palmer and Simi Fehoko for snaps and targets.

Questionable for Week 9 Chark (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Impact Chark remains on injured reserve, but he has made progress in his recovery, as indicated by his ability to practice without limitations for the first time all season Thursday. He would first need to be officially activated from injured reserve in order to make his season debut Sunday. Chark's 21-day window to return from IR was opened Oct. 16, so the Chargers still have the option of holding him out Sunday and activating him prior to facing the Titans in Week 10.

Logs full practice Chark (groin) practiced fully Thursday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Impact Chark had been limited since having his 21-day practice window opened, but his return to a full session Thursday suggests that he could come off IR and be available to face the Browns on Sunday. If that ends up being the case, the Chargers would be able to ease Chark back in, with Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer also in the team's wideout mix ahead of Week 9 action.

Limited in practice Wednesday Chark (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Chark has been regularly listed as limited since having his 21-day practice window opened. The veteran wide receiver hasn't yet played this season, but he should be nearing a return and might possibly even be a candidate to suit up for Sunday's road game against the Browns. Chark will need to be fully activated from IR before being eligible to make his Chargers debut, however.

Not returning Week 8 Chark (groin) was not activated off IR ahead of Sunday's contest versus New Orleans.

Impact Chark hasn't yet played this season, though he was designated to return from IR on Oct. 16. The veteran receiver logged a trio of limited practices this week, so he appears to be getting closer to a return. The Chargers elevated a pair of wideouts -- Jaylen Johnson and Jalen Reagor -- from the practice squad Saturday to help round out a wide receiver corps that will likely be without Quentin Johnston (ankle) and Derius Davis (hamstring) in addition to Chark.

Impact Chark has continued to log limited practices since having his 21-day practice window opened last Wednesday, and the Chargers have until Saturday afternoon to activate him from IR ahead of Week 8 action. If he's available this weekend, Chark could step into a key role in the team's passing offense, with Quentin Johnston (ankle) listed as doubtful and Ladd McConkey questionable with a hip injury that he's been managing.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Still limited at practice Chark (groin) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Impact Since having his 21-day practice window opened last Wednesday, Chark has continued to log limited practices. The Chargers' WR corps is pretty banged up at the moment, with Quentin Johnston (ankle), Ladd McConkey (hip) and Derius Davis (hamstring) also on the injury report, but it's unclear if Chark will be activated from IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.

Expect more information regarding Chark's status to come before the 9:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Impact The Chargers opened up Chark's 21-day practice window Wednesday, but it remains to be seen if he'll be activated from IR ahead of Monday night's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Chark landed on IR in advance of Week 1 action, but the wideout is now inching closer to a return to action. It remains to be seen if he'll be activated for Monday's game against the Cardinals, but once Chark returns to the lineup, he have an opportunity to claim a role in a Chargers WR corps currently that's led by Joshua Palmer, Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey.

Window won't open Wednesday Coach Jim Harbaugh doesn't expect Chark's (hip) 21-day practice window to be opened Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Chark has been on injured reserve for the entire regular season so far, and he isn't ready to begin practicing Wednesday as the Chargers begin preparing for Sunday's game in Denver. Once his practice window opens, the Chargers would have 21 days from that point to add Chark to the active roster.

Added to IR Chark was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Impact It's a tough blow for Chark's marginal fantasy value as the veteran figured to have an upper hand to be one of the team's top-three pass catchers given his experience relative to Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey. With that opportunity now gone, Chark won't be eligible to return until Week 6 as the team has the earliest possible bye in Week 5.

Won't play Sunday Chark (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's season opener against the Raiders.

Impact With Chark unavailable, Joshua Palmer, Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston are slated to lead the Chargers' Week 1 wideout corps. Chark, who didn't practice this week, will thus target a potential return to action Sept. 15 versus the Panthers.

Not dressed for practice Friday Chark (hip) is watching Friday's practice in street clothes, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Chark appears set to miss a third consecutive practice, in which case he'll be a strong candidate to miss Sunday's regular-season opener against the Raiders. Friday's practice report will reveal the veteran wideout's official injury designation for Week 1. In the event that Chark isn't able to go, the Chargers will stand to roll with Joshua Palmer, Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston as the starters in three-wide sets.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Thursday Chark (hip) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Chark came up limping in practice on Aug. 19 and has been dealing with the injury ever since. Back-to-back DNPs to open the practice week aren't a good sign for the veteran wideout's Week 1 availability against the Raiders, but Chark has one more day of practice to get out there ahead of Sunday. If Chark is unable to play, Joshua Palmer, Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston would likely be the Chargers' three-wide set versus Las Vegas.
