Weekly rows describe the supplied week, not a dated transaction. Observed dates show when a record was checked, not when a contract or roster move took effect. Conflicting records remain separate. Only retained observations are shown; game-day status belongs to the availability report.
Los Angeles led Denver by seven when its coach passed on a punt at his own 41. The Broncos scored the next 13 points, and the Chargers have lost all five games for the first time in 23 years.
Mike Macdonald says the short week leaves no room to ramp up the running back's surgically repaired knee, pointing his return toward the October 25 home game with Kansas City.
Denver scored the last 13 points at SoFi Stadium, turning a Herbert fumble and an interception into fourth-quarter field goals, and the Chargers fell to 0-5 under Jim Harbaugh.
