What happened: The move keeps Herbert available for the active roster again after his first elevation last week. He is in his first NFL season after coming out of Oregon.

Why it matters: A second straight call-up suggests Los Angeles wants the same depth option ready again as it works through weekly roster decisions. It follows Herbert's previous elevation on Sept. 27, an early sign he is staying in the weekly mix.

What to watch: The next step is whether Herbert is active on game day and whether the Chargers keep using him as a recurring elevation in the weeks ahead.
