Why it matters: Dealing Johnston before the offseason would allow Los Angeles to bypass a decision on his fifth-year contract option, while Jackson—currently listed as questionable on the injury report—and Vidal offer depth for buyers ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline. The NFL trade market accelerated Tuesday when the 2-5 Indianapolis Colts sent All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks and Pro Bowl defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the San Francisco 49ers.

By the numbers: Los Angeles sits 16th in the AFC at 0-6 on a six-game losing streak after falling 22-6 at the first-place Kansas City Chiefs (5-1) on Oct. 18. Fellow AFC seller Indianapolis stands 12th in the conference at 2-5 on a three-game skid after a 16-10 loss at Minnesota on Oct. 25.

What to watch: The Chargers enter Week 8 incorporating tight end Charlie Kolar into the offense while fielding deadline inquiries prior to Nov. 10.
