What happened: The Los Angeles Chargers activated wide receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith from injured reserve/designated for return on Saturday and released wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, per Adam Schefter. The roster swap clears a spot on the 53-man active roster ahead of Sunday's game.

Why it matters: Los Angeles reshuffles its receiving corps while trying to snap an 0-5 start to the 2026 regular season. Lambert-Smith returns after exiting with an injury in mid-September, while Valdes-Scantling departs after joining the Chargers on Sept. 23.

What to watch: Lambert-Smith is eligible to suit up for the Chargers on Sunday, while Valdes-Scantling hits the open market.
