Njoku could return to practice this week after suffering a fibula injury in Week 2, the Chargers tight end remains on injured reserve but is nearing the opening of his 21-day practice window, with his return to game action dependent on how he responds to increased activity

Recovered from a left PCL sprain that ended his 2025 regular season, Njoku participated fully throughout OTAs and mandatory minicamp with no reported limitations and is expected to be a full participant for training camp. While surgery was not required, his explosiveness and response to the knee injury will be worth monitoring early in the season.

Njoku, who didn't practice this week, thus is slated to miss his second straight contest with a knee injury, his next chance to see game action set to arrive Sunday, Dec. 28 against the Steelers

Njoku didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday with a knee injury, and it's been confirmed that he'll sit out Sunday's contest and eye a potential return to action Sunday, Dec. 21 against the Bills
