Lands on IR
The Chargers placed Lambert-Smith (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Lambert-Smith is done for the season after catching five passes for 51 yards and a touchdown across 10 games during the regular season. The rookie fifth-round pick will shift his focus to getting healthy for the 2026 campaign, while Kimani Vidal will likely take over as one of the team's primary kick returners during Sunday's wild-card matchup versus the Patriots.

Missing wild-card round
Lambert-Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Patriots.
Analysis: Lambert-Smith opened the Chargers' week of practice with consecutive DNPs after sustaining a hamstring injury in the Week 18 loss to the Broncos, so it's no surprise that he won't play Sunday. The rookie wideout from Auburn logged just 53 offensive snaps over 10 regular-season contests this season, catching five of 12 targets for 51 yards and a touchdown. Kimani Vidal will likely step in and operate as one of the Chargers' top kick returners while Lambert-Smith is sidelined for the wild-card…read more

Not practicing Wednesday
Lambert-Smith (hamstring) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Lambert-Smith suffered a hamstring injury during the Chargers' Week 18 loss to the Broncos and was unable to return to the contest. The 23-year-old has two more chances to participate in practice before Sunday's playoff matchup against the Patriots. Should Lambert-Smith be unable to return, Tre' Harris and Derius Davis could see a slightly higher snap count at wide receiver.

Done for the afternoon
Lambert-Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Broncos.
Analysis: Lambert-Smith suffered a hamstring injury in the second quarter, and his night has now officially come to a premature end. Tre' Harris and Derius Davis could see a slight uptick in usage at wide receiver in his absence.

Tweaks hamstring, iffy to return
Lambert-Smith (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Analysis: Lambert-Smith appeared to sustain the injury late in the second quarter after hauling in an 18-yard pass from Trey Lance. Derius Davis would serve as the primary returner on kickoffs and see more snaps on offense if Lambert-Smith is unable to return.

Scores first career touchdown
Lambert-Smith caught his lone target for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: Lambert-Smith's trip to the end zone accounted for the only touchdown scored by the Chargers in the contest and the first touchdown of his career. With teammate Quentin Johnston (groin) inactive, the rookie wideout played 21 of the Chargers' 66 offensive snaps, his largest snap share of the season. Lambert-Smith made the most of his limited playing time by finding the end zone, but the Auburn product should not be trusted for fantasy purposes, even in a plus matchup against the Cowboys in Week…read more

Healthy scratch Week 11
Lambert-Smith (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Analysis: It's the first time this season that the rookie fifth-rounder is a healthy scratch, and with the Chargers on a bye Week 12, his next opportunity to play is Week 13 against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 13. Derius Davis and Trayveon Williams are slated to serve as the Chargers' primary returners on kickoffs and punts in Lambert-Smith's absence.

Past hamstring injury
Lambert-Smith (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: A hamstring injury prevented the rookie fifth-rounder from playing in the Chargers' Week 10 win over the Steelers. Lambert-Smith appears to be past the injury given his full practice Wednesday, and he is on track to be available for Sunday's road game against the Jaguars. He has mostly been used on special teams as a returner, posting 219 yards on nine kickoff returns across six regular-season games.

Won't play against Pittsburgh
Lambert-Smith (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Analysis: A hamstring issue limited Lambert-Smith's practice participation Thursday and Friday, and the injury is severe enough for the rookie fifth-rounder to miss Sunday night's home game. Derius Davis will step into a more prominent role as a returner on kickoffs and punts due in Lambert-Smith's absence.

Questionable for Sunday
Lambert-Smith (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Analysis: Lambert-Smith appeared on the injury report Thursday with a hamstring issue, and he managed to log only limited participation in both Thursday's and Friday's practices. The rookie fifth-rounder has logged only four targets, resulting in one reception for one yard, through his first six career games. If the wide receiver is unable to go Sunday, Derius Davis may be in line to receive a few offensive snaps.

Managing hamstring issue
Lambert-Smith was limited in practice Thursday due to a hamstring injury.
Analysis: Lambert-Smith wasn't on the injury report Wednesday, but he's now being listed as dealing with a hamstring issue. The rookie's practice participation level Friday should determine whether he enters the weekend with an injury designation. Lambert-Smith has just one catch on four targets through six games this season, but he's worked as one of the Chargers' top kick returners.

Minimal output in win
Lambert-Smith played five of the Chargers' 65 offensive snaps and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans.
Analysis: The rookie wideout from Auburn contributed more on special teams than offense in the Week 9 win, returning two kickoffs for 49 yards. Lambert-Smith has appeared in six games and caught just one of four targets this season, playing 82 total snaps (58 on offense, 24 on special teams). He's expected to remain a depth option at WR while serving as one of the Chargers' top kick returners in the Week 10 matchup against the Steelers.

Inactive against Indianapolis
Lambert-Smith is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Lambert-Smith won't dress on Sunday as return specialist Derius Davis will serve as the fifth wide receiver for the Chargers. After breaking out in the preseason, the undrafted free agent hasn't had much of an opportunity in the regular season, recording his first career reception last week against Miami. This is the second game this season Lambert-Smith has been a healthy scratch.

Inactive Sunday
Lambert-Smith is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Analysis: With Lambert-Smith not in the mix Sunday, Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, Keenan Allen, Tre' Harris and Derius Davis are the Chargers' available WRs versus Denver. Through his first two games this season, Lambert-Smith was on the field for 20 snaps on offense and didn't catch his lone target.

Can't bring in only target
Lambert-Smith failed to secure his only target during the Chargers' 27-21 win over the Chiefs on Friday night.
Analysis: Lambert-Smith played 14 offensive snaps while rookie second-rounder Tre' Harris played just five snaps. On his only target, though, Harris managed an 11-yard completion, while Lambert-Smith finished catchless. Both rookies will again compete for reps behind starting wide receivers Ladd McConkey, Keenan Allen and Quentin Johnston as the Chargers prepare for a Monday night showdown on the road at Las Vegas in Week 2.

No catches to close preseason
Lambert-Smith did not record a reception on one target in Saturday's 30-23 preseason loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: The Chargers rested all of their starters, including fellow rookie Omarion Hampton. Lambert-Smith played in the team's first four offensive possessions and was targeted twice, once by Trey Lance and once by Taylor Heinicke -- though the latter was wiped out by a penalty. Lambert-Smith has been one of the key risers throughout the summer, and he could open the season as the team's fourth receiver, depending on the health and role of Tre Harris (undisclosed).

Hype keeps building
Lambert-Smith recorded two receptions on six targets for 66 yards in Saturday's 23-22 preseason loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Lambert-Smith entered the game on the Chargers' opening drive after Quentin Johnston (concussion) was injured, following Keenan Allen but prior to fellow rookie Tre Harris. The latter development may have been the result of the fact Lambert-Smith was better suited to fill Johnston's downfield role, as both rookies ultimately played well beyond the starters' departure from the contest. Regardless, Lambert-Smith is clearly in the mix for early playing time come the regular season, and he helped…read more

Keeps rolling in preseason opener
Lambert-Smith secured both targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in the Chargers' 34-7 preseason win over the Lions in Thursday night's Hall of Fame Game.
Analysis: Lambert-Smith set the pace for the Chargers in receiving yards while also sharing the team lead in receptions with multiple teammates. The rookie fifth-round pick, who's been standing out during the early stages of training camp, flashed his speed on a game-long 28-yard reception during Los Angeles' second possession, when he beat 2024 second-round pick Ennis Rakestraw down the right side of the field. Lambert-Smith then capped off his night with a 15-yard touchdown grab just past the…read more

Flashing potential as outside WR
Lambert has been an early standout for the Chargers through the first week of training camp, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The sudden retirement of Mike Williams coupled with a minor undisclosed injury for Jalen Reagor has opened the door for both Lambert-Smith and rookie second-round pick Tre Harris to compete for a boundary wide receiver role on the first-team offense. Lambert-Smith has the prototypical size (6-foot-1) and speed (4.37 40-yard dash at 2025 NFL Combine) to be a conventional field stretcher for an offense that has struggled to find that role for years, and he figures to be in the mix for…read more
