Impact Herbert had some time to rest his troublesome ankle during the Chargers' bye week, but the QB's listed limitations Wednesday suggest that he continues to manage the issue ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Deane Leonard - Doesn't practice Wednesday Leonard (hamstring) was listed as a DNP for Wednesday's practice report.

Impact Leonard was unable to play in Week 4 against the Chiefs due to a hamstring injury.

Joe Alt - Limited Wednesday Alt (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Kristian Fulton - Doesn't practice Wednesday Fulton (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice session.

Impact The Chargers are coming off a bye in Week 5, so it's not clear whether Fulton injured his knee in Week 4 against the Chiefs or in the interim. Regardless, the 2020 second-round pick will have two more chances to return to the practice field ahead of Sunday's AFC West clash against the Broncos. Fulton has played 100 percent of the Chargers' defensive snaps in three of four regular-season games, and on the year he's accumulated 15 tackles (11 solo) and three passes defended (one interception).

Following his team's bye, Edwards is dealing with an ankle issue that makes his status for Sunday's game against the Broncos worth monitoring. If he's out or limited this weekend, Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal would be candidates to see added snaps behind J.K. Dobbins.

He'll have two more chances to return to practice this week ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos. Tuli Tuipulotu would see more work with the first-team defense if Bosa were to be sidelined.

Cameron Dicker - Dealing with illness Dicker (illness) didn't practice Wednesday.
