Chargers' DJ Chark: Won't return to practice Wednesday
Head coach Jim Harbaugh said that he doesn't expect the Chargers to open Chark's (hip) 21-day practice window Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Chark has been on injured reserve for the entire regular season, and he isn't ready to begin practicing Wednesday as the Chargers begin preparing for Sunday's game in Denver. The wideout is thus likely to miss a fifth consecutive contest to begin the campaign, and a clear target date for his return likely won't emerge until he starts practicing again.

Chargers' DJ Chark: Approaching return to practice
Chark (hip) is on track to return to practice this coming week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Chark is currently on IR, but it looks like his 21-day practice window will open up shortly. Once the wideout is back up to speed, he'll have a chance to reclaim a key role in a Chargers' WR corps that's currently led by Joshua Palmer, Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey.

Chargers' DJ Chark: Added to IR
Chark (hip) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
It's a tough blow for Chark's marginal fantasy value, as the veteran figured to have an upper hand to be one of the team's top three pass catchers given his experience relative to Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey. Chark won't be eligible to return until Week 6, as the team has the earliest possible bye in Week 5.

Chargers' DJ Chark: Won't play Sunday
Chark (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's season opener against the Raiders.
With Chark unavailable, Joshua Palmer, Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston are slated to lead the Chargers' Week 1 wideout corps. Chark, who didn't practice this week, thus will target a potential return to action Sunday, Sept. 15 versus the Panthers.

Chargers' DJ Chark: Not suited up for practice Friday
Chark (hip) is watching Friday's practice in street clothes, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Chark appears set to miss a third consecutive practice, in which case he'll be a strong candidate to miss Sunday's regular-season opener against the Raiders. Friday's practice report will reveal the veteran wideout's official injury designation for Week 1. In the event that Chark isn't able to go, the Chargers will stand to roll with Joshua Palmer, Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston as the top options in three-wide sets.

Chargers' DJ Chark: Still sidelined Thursday
Chark (hip) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Chark came up limping in practice on Aug. 19 and has been dealing with the injury ever since. Back-to-back DNPs to open the practice week aren't a good sign for the veteran wideout's Week 1 availability against the Raiders, but Chark has one more day of practice to get out there ahead of Sunday. If Chark is unable to play, Joshua Palmer, Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston would likely be the Chargers' three-wide set versus Las Vegas.

Chargers' DJ Chark: Fails to practice Wednesday
Chark (hip) didn't practice Wednesday.
Chark has been dealing with an injury since last month, and Wednesday's injury report confirmed that the wideout is tending to a hip issue. The receiver will likely need to return to full practice participation by Friday in order to avoid taking a designation into Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Chargers' DJ Chark: Not seen at practice
Chark (hip) wasn't spotted at Wednesday's practice, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Assuming the Chargers officially list Chark as a non-participant on their first injury report of 2024, he'll have two more chances to potentially get in some practice work before Sunday's season opener versus the Raiders.

Chargers' DJ Chark: Still missing from practice
Chark (hip) wasn't seen at the portion of Monday's practice open to the media, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Chark is two weeks removed from an apparent hip injury he suffered in practice, which has kept him sidelined since. The Chargers aren't required to post an injury report until Wednesday ahead of Sunday's contest against the Raiders, but it should provide some clarity on his status. Once he's healthy, Chark will be part of a receiving corps that's led by Joshua Palmer, Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston.

Chark (undisclosed) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Chark was shook up during Monday's practice, with Daniel Popper of The Athletic suggesting afterward that the wideout may have sustained a hip issue. With another missed practice under his belt Thursday, Chark doesn't seem likely to play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Cowboys.
