What happened: The Los Angeles Chargers are not expected to dismantle their roster ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, per The Athletic. Los Angeles is holding off on a midseason sell-off despite opening the 2026 season with seven consecutive defeats.

Why it matters: Sitting winless at 0-7, the Chargers face long odds for playoff contention but have opted against a roster teardown that would signal a multi-year rebuild. Holding onto key contributors preserves continuity for the remainder of the 2026 campaign while deferring major personnel decisions to the offseason.

By the numbers: The Chargers are 0-7 through seven games in 2026, ranking 16th in the AFC on a seven-game slide. Los Angeles lost 24-9 to the Los Angeles Rams in its previous game on Nov. 1.

What to watch: The NFL trade deadline arrives Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 4 p.m. ET.
