What happened: Los Angeles Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz has rejected incoming trade inquiries from multiple front offices despite an 0-5 start, per Tom Pelissero. The organization plans no roster sell-off ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline, holding onto veterans Khalil Mack, Bud Dupree, Denzel Perryman, Dalvin Tomlinson, and Donte Jackson alongside young defenders Daiyan Henley and Tuli Tuipulotu.

Why it matters: After posting 11 regular-season wins in each of coach Jim Harbaugh's first two seasons, Los Angeles opened 2026 with five consecutive defeats despite hiring offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel and revamping the offensive line around quarterback Justin Herbert. Front office leadership remains convinced the roster can reverse its trajectory rather than pivoting to draft-pick accumulation.

What to watch: Los Angeles seeks its first victory of 2026 on Sunday against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs in the 133rd meeting between the division rivals before entering a Week 7 bye.
