News

  • Career year

    Tranquill recorded 144 tackles (93 solo), five sacks, an additional five tackles for loss, a forced fumble and an interception in 17 games during the 2022-23 regular season.

    Analysis: Tranquill had the best season of his career, setting new career highs in tackles and sacks while also registering his first career interception. The 27-year-old led the Chargers in both solo and total tackles and also finished tied for third on the team in sacks, as he supplanted Kenneth Murray for the starting job. An unrestricted free agent this offseason, Tranquill has earned himself a starting role either with the Chargers or somewhere else.

  • Racks up nine tackles Sunday

    Tranquill tallied nine tackles, including two for loss, in Sunday's 31-10 Week 17 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Tranquill led the Chargers in stops for the third straight week, though he fell just short of extending his streak of games with double-digit tackles to three. The fourth-year linebacker is up to 138 tackles on the campaign, 12th-most in the NFL.

    Tranquill recorded 11 tackles (four solo) and one sack in Monday's 20-3 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Tranquill has now amassed double-digit stops in consecutive contests following Monday's game-high 11-tackle performance.

  • Logs 10 stops including sack Sunday

    Tranquill recorded a sack among his 10 stops and forced a fumble in Sunday's Week 15 win over Tennessee.

    Analysis: Tranquill made some key plays late in the game for the Chargers, stopping Derrick Henry for a two-yard gain midway through the fourth quarter and forcing the big running back to fumble. The Titans recovered the ball, but Tranquill effectively ended the drive two plays later with a sack of Ryan Tannehill. The sack was Tranquill's fourth of the campaign, and the double-digit tackle total was his fifth so far in 2022. Tranquill is already up to a career-best 118 stops through 14 contests.

  • Steps up as pass defender

    Tranquill tallied five tackles (four solo) and two passes defended in Sunday's 23-17 win against Miami.

    Analysis: Tranquill has struggled in coverage this season, but he posted a season-high two passes defended in this impressive outing for the Chargers' struggling pass defense. While he did post a season-low two tackles for the second time in as many weeks, he now ranks first on the team in tackles (108) just ahead of safety Derwin James, who sat out with a quad injury Week 14. Tranquill's role as a tackler should come back to the forefront when the Bolts take on prolific Titans running back Derrick Henry…read more

  • Anticipates playing Sunday

    Tranquill (illness) is warming up and is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Raiders, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Tranquill was unable to practice Friday due to an illness, but his ability to participate in pregame warmups suggests he'll be available this weekend. The 27-year-old will likely continue operating in his usual role as an every-down linebacker in Week 13.

  • Lands on injury report Friday

    Tranquill didn't practice Friday due to an illness and is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Raiders, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Tranquill landed on the injury report Friday as a non-participant due to an illness and is now in danger of missing Week 13. If he's sidelined, Kenneth Murray, Troy Reeder and Chris Rumph would be candidates for increased roles.

  • Nine stops Week 12

    Tranquill logged nine tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 25-24 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Tranquill finished with the Chargers' second-most tackles behind safety Alohi Gilman (10), as the linebacker continued to play an every-down role Week 12. The 234-pounder also came one stop shy of notching his fifth double-digit tackle outing of the season, increasing his season total to 98 over 11 games. Tranquill has already logged career highs in tackles, sacks (three) and passes defended (two), and he'll look to keep up this significant production next Sunday against the division-rival…read more

  • Seven stops in close loss

    Tranquill recorded seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 30-27 defeat to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Tranquill's production came back down to earth after he logged a season-high 15 tackles against the 49ers last week. However, the linebacker still tied safety Derwin James for a team high in tackles Week 12, as the Chargers' defense once again struggled to keep the Chiefs' offense in check for a full four quarters. Tranquill has now played every defensive snap in four of the Bolts' last five games, recording 33 tackles and three sacks over that span. He will look to continue his career-best…read more

  • Season-high 15 tackles

    Tranquill logged 15 tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 22-16 loss to San Francisco.

    Analysis: Tranquill was one of two Chargers to finish with double-digit tackles, as safety Derwin James also notched 13 stops against the 49ers. These two now sit far and away as the Bolts' top two tacklers through nine games, with 82 and 85, respectively. Tranquill has already set new career highs in tackles and sacks (three) this season, and he'll likely continue to play almost every defensive snap Sunday against the Chiefs.

  • Ten tackles in win

    Tranquill compiled 10 tackles (eight solo), including a sack, in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Tranquill led the team in tackles in Week 9, reaching a double-digit total for the third time in eight games this year. The linebacker also recorded his third sack of the year in victory. He's now up to 67 total tackles on the campaign, nine short of the career-high 76 he posted over 14 contests in 2021.

  • Seven solo tackles in loss

    Tranquill recorded seven solo tackles during Sunday's 37-23 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Tranquill tied Nasir Adderley for second most tackles on the team behind Derwin James. Across seven appearances, Tranquill has totaled 57 stops, two sacks and one interception. The Chargers have a Week 8 bye, so Tranquill will look to continue his solid play against the Falcons in Week 9.

  • Team-high 11 stops in win

    Tranquill recorded 11 tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 34-24 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Tranquill has recorded double-digit tackles in back-to-back games and has 35 stops through four games. He's seized the starting gig over Kenneth Murray, a 2020 first-round pick, and will look to continue his strong play against the Browns in Week 5.

  • Records game-high 11 tackles Sunday

    Tranquill collected 11 tackles (nine solo) and one pass defensed during Sunday's 38-10 defeat to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: The Chargers' defensive unit as a whole struggled in Week 3, as the team gave up 38 points to a non-extraordinary Jacksonville team. However, Tranquill's efforts could be considered one of the few bright spots Sunday for Los Angeles, and he'll look to continue his notable play when the team matches up against Houston on Sunday.

  • Solid production in loss

    Tranquill is active Sunday against the Raiders, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Tranquill had been battling a groin injury throughout camp but was no longer on the injury report after Wednesday. He'll be starting next to Kyle Van Noy at inside linebacker Sunday, as the Chargers host the Raiders.

  • Not on injury report

    Tranquill (groin) was not listed on the Chargers' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Tranquill appears to have gotten past a nagging groin injury that first popped up in early August. The 234-pound linebacker started seven of his 14 games last season, and he is expected to step into a full-time starting role alongside linebacker Kyle Van Noy in 2022.

  • Battling groin injury

    Tranquill has missed the past two practices due to a groin injury, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Per coach Brandon Staley, the team doesn't believe Tranquill's injury is anything serious, so the linebacker will likely return to practice before long. Tranquill's expected to start in 2022 after notching 76 tackles in 14 games last season.

  • Expected to play Sunday

    Tranquill (ankle) is listed as questionable but likely to play Sunday against the Raiders according to head coach Brandon Staley, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Tranquill suffered the injury against the Texans in Week 16 and sat out Week 17 against Denver. His return in a win-or-go-home game Sunday against the Raiders would be a boost not only to the Chargers' linebacker unit, but to the defense as a whole.

  • Limited at practice

    Tranquill (ankle) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: The linebacker missed the Chargers' win over the Broncos last weekend while dealing with the ankle injury, though his ability to practice Wednesday bodes well for his chances to play Sunday night against the Raiders. Tranquill has had a strong third season in the league, making 72 tackles while recording his first 1.5 sacks of his career as well as deflecting a pass and recovering a fumble over 13 contests.

  • Doubtful against Broncos

    Tranquill (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Tranquill was held out of practice Wednesday and Thursday and appears unlikely to play in Week 17. If he's ultimately held out, Nick Niemann could step into a starting role Sunday.

    Tranquill (leg) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Texans, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Tranquill recorded five tackles before leaving the team's Week 16 contest with a leg injury. If he's unable to return, Nick Niemann will likely see increased snaps for the remainder of the contest.

  • Effective against Bengals

    Tranquill recorded 10 tackles (six solo), a sack and a pass defense in Sunday's 41-22 win over Cincinnati.

    Analysis: Tranquill tied for the team lead in tackles during Sunday's blowout win while also recording his highest total in the category since Week 5. The 26-year-old has had somewhat inconsistent results for the Chargers this year, and he's now recorded 57 tackles (34 solo), 1.5 sacks and a pass defense across his first 10 appearances of the season.

    Tranquill (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list by the Chargers on Saturday.

    Analysis: Tranquill was sidelined for last week's loss to the Vikings after he tested positive for COVID-19. However, he'll be able to return to the field for Sunday's matchup against Pittsburgh after he totaled 42 tackles (25 solo) and 0.5 sacks across his first seven appearances of the year.

    Tranquill (illness) will not pay in Sunday's Week 10 game versus the Vikings, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Tranquill landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday after testing positive for the illness. He will need two negative tests at least 24 hours apart before he is deemed eligible to return. Look for Nick Niemann to step in to a starting role at inside linebacker in his absence.

  • Placed on reserve/COVID-19 list

    Tranquill was put on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The linebacker tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday and he will have to clear league protocols before he can make his return to the team. Tranquill will need two negative tests at least 24 hours apart, making it extremely unlikely he'll be available Sunday against the Vikings. In his absence, Nick Niemann would seemingly step into a starting role at inside linebacker.

    Tranquill recorded nine tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Tranquill has now recorded nine-plus total tackles in two of his last three games, setting the stage for his best statistical NFL season yet. The 2019 fourth-round pick has stepped into an important defensive role for Los Angeles. However, it may be a difficult afternoon next Sunday as Tranquill and the Chargers look to contain star running back Dalvin Cook.

  • Active to face Patriots

    Tranquill (chest) is active for Sunday's game against New England.

    Analysis: Tranquill was limited in all three practices this week coming out of Los Angeles' Week 7 bye, but he's been deemed healthy enough to make his return to action -- he hasn't played since Week 5 when he recorded 11 tackles against the Browns. His presence certainly provides a boost to Los Angeles' defensive unit.

  • Questionable after limited practice

    Tranquill (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Tranquill was limited in all three practices this week coming out of Los Angeles' Week 7 bye. He last saw the field back in Week 5, when the linebacker posted a season-high 11 tackles against Cleveland.

  • Limited in practice Wednesday

    Tranquill (chest) was listed as a limited participant for the Chargers' practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Tranquill missed the Chargers' Week 6 loss to the Ravens while dealing with a chest injury. The linebacker is trending toward playing Sunday against the Patriots, although he logged a limited practice Wednesday. Expect Nick Niemann or Amen Ogbongbemiga to see increased playing time in Week 8 if Tranquill can't suit up.

  • Trending toward return

    Tranquill (chest) is trending toward playing Sunday against the Patriots, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Tranquill missed the Chargers' Week 6 game against Baltimore, but after a Week 7 bye he is headed in the right direction. The third-year pro was enjoying a bit of a breakout campaign and carving out a bigger role for himself each week. Despite missing a game already, Tranquill is still on pace for a career high in tackles.

  • Unavailable Week 6

    Tranquill has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Baltimore due to a chest injury.

    Analysis: Tranquill recorded 11 tackles during last week's win over the Browns but apparently picked up the chest injury and will be sidelined this weekend. Nick Niemann or Amen Ogbongbemiga could see increased playing time in his absence.

  • Produces in limited role

    Tranquill had eight tackles (six solo) and a half-sack during Sunday's 30-24 win over the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Tranquill played only 34 of 79 defensive snaps but was significantly involved when on the field. The 26-year-old worked in a rotational role for the Chargers but has progressively seen more playing time in each game so far during the young season.

  • May return late in season

    Coach Anthony Lynn said Wednesday that Tranquill (ankle) may return late in the season, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Tranquill broke his left ankle in the season opener and was promptly placed on injured reserve. There is a chance he could miss the rest of the 2020 season, but Lynn believes the linebacker could beat that timeline. Whether the Chargers allow Tranquill to return could depend on their need for linebacker depth and their position in the playoff race. Last season, the Notre Dame product recorded 70 tackles over the final 11 games.

  • Placed on IR

    Tranquill (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: Tranquill sustained a broken ankle in Sunday's win over the Bengals and could miss the remainder of the 2020 season, so this move was expected. The Chargers elevated Asmar Bilal to the active roster to bolster their linebacker depth alongside Nick Vigil and Emeke Egbule.

  • Broken ankle confirmed

    Coach Anthony Lynn said Tranquill broke his left ankle during Sunday's 16-13 win over the Bengals, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: This news was expected, but it's a big loss for the Chargers' defense nonetheless. Over just 382 defensive snaps in his rookie season, Tranquill piled up 75 tackles -- the second-highest figure on the team. Lynn stopped short of saying Tranquill is out for the remainder of the season, but the Notre Dame product will likely be placed on IR and miss substantial time. Emeke Egbule and Nick Vigil could both see an increase in usage in Tranquill's stead.

  • Broken ankle feared

    Early results indicate that Tranquill suffered a broken ankle during Sunday's 16-13 win over the Bengals, Adam Schefter of ESPN.

    Analysis: Tranquill notched a single tackle before being carted off the field Sunday. If the second-year pro is indeed forced to miss significant time due to a broken ankle, it will be a notable blow to a Chargers defense already reeling from the loss of Derwin James (knee). Count on Nick Vigil to handle an expanded snap count as long as Tranquill remains sidelined.

  • Suffers leg injury

    Tranquill suffered a leg injury in the team's Week 1 contest against the Bengals and will not return, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The injury appeared to be serious, as a cart came out to take Tranquill off the field and an air cast was applied to his leg. Nick Vigil will see an uptick in snaps in his absence. Coach Anthony Lynn said postgame he doesn't expect Tranquill back "any time soon," per Daniel Popper of The Athletic.

  • Expected to be three-down starter

    Tranquill is expected to occupy a three-down role this season, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: This is a bit of a two-fold breakdown as there was some thought Tranquill could take over at middle linebacker, moving Denzel Perryman or 2020 first-round pick Kenneth Murray to the outside. Instead, Tranquill will start on the outside and should play every down as well with the likes of Murray or even Kyzir White rotating off the field in obvious passing situations. It's an important distinction in deeper IDP leagues as Tranquill registered 75 tackles despite playing just 322 defensive snaps…read more

  • Excellent in rookie campaign

    Tranquill finished his rookie campaign with 75 tackles and a pass defensed.

    Analysis: Tranquill quietly emerged as a legitimate force in the middle, posting 46 tackles from Weeks 10-17. That essentially coincided with the disappearance of Jatavis Brown, who is not expected to be retained by the Chargers this offseason. With both Thomas Davis and Denzel Perryman entering the 2020 season with one year remaining on their contracts, Tranquill could be the heir apparent to the starting inside linebacker job with another productive campaign.

  • Another impressive tackle total

    Tranquill tallied eight tackles (seven total) in the 45-10 win Sunday over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Throughout the last three games, Tranquill has emerged as the Chargers' top tackler, leading the team in two out of the three games, including a 14-tackle outing against the Raiders in Week 10. It's come at the cost of Thomas Davis, and to some extent Denzel Perryman, although the latter did not play Sunday due to disciplinary reasons.

  • Practicing without limitations

    Tranquill (calf) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Tranquill appears to have fully shaken his lingering calf injury during the Chargers' bye. The rookie fourth-round pick played 100 percent of snaps on defense Week 10 against Oakland, and he could be in line for another key role against Denver on Sunday.

  • Sidelined for Week 11

    Tranquill (calf) is officially inactive for Monday's game against Kansas City, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Tranquill only logged limited practice time during the week, and as evidenced by this news, he couldn't shake the injury leading up to the primetime game. He'll be a major loss to the defense, especially considering he logged a team-high 14 tackles in Week 10's loss to Tennessee. However, Denzel Perryman (knee) is back to full health, and he'll be taking the reins of the starting middle linebacker job for the game.

  • Earns questionable tag

    Tranquill (calf) is now listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Tranquill was a limited participant in Saturday's practice, but he wasn't initially handed an injury tag. This would be a major loss for the Chargers' defense, as Tranquill led the team in tackles in last week's loss to the Raiders, racking up 14. However, even if Tranquill suits up, it may be difficult to replicate that performance with Denzel Perryman likely at full health.

  • Unexpected eruption

    Tranquill tallied 14 tackles (six solo) in Thursday's 26-24 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Denzel Perryman (knee) was active for the contest, but he spent his time on the sidelines while Tranquill stole the show. The rookie fourth-round pick doubled his season high in stops and now has 38 over his last six outings. Fantasy gamers may want to keep an eye on Tranquill in case Perryman can't shake his injury.
