LOS ANGELES CHARGERS NEWS

Chris Harris Jr. - Continuing to test negative Harris has continued to test negative since landing on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday and plans to rejoin the Chargers for practice Friday, Josina Anderson of USA Today report...

Impact Allen tested positive for the virus Monday, with Harris and Mike Williams then joining Allen on the reserve/list two days later as unvaccinated close contacts. According to NFL protocols for unvaccinated players, Harris and Williams must test negative for five consecutive days before they're eligible to return to the team facility. Assuming Allen was informed of his positive test Monday morning, Harris' five-day count would be retroactive to that time, thereby allowing him to rejoin the Chargers by Friday afternoon ahead of the team's final Week 14 practice. Even if the testing window is too tight for Harris to make it back for Friday's practice, he should be on track to play Sunday against the Giants so long as he clears the necessary protocols by Saturday.

Chris Harris Jr. - Deemed close contact Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said Harris was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list as a close contact of receiver Keenan Allen, who tested positive for the virus Monday, ESPN.c...

Impact Staley's acknowledgement that Harris is a close contact suggests the cornerback is unvaccinated, as vaccinated players are placed on the list only as a result of testing positive. Per the NFL's protocols for unvaccinated close contacts, Harris will be required to test negative for five days before he's eligible to rejoin the Chargers. Assuming the five-day count began Monday when Allen tested positive, Harris would be able to join the Chargers on Saturday, which would then give him a chance to be available for the team's Week 14 game against the Giants on Sunday.

Austin Ekeler - Limited by ankle issue Ekeler (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Impact Per Daniel Popper of The Athletic, Ekeler emerged from the Chargers' Week 13 win over the Bengals dealing with "bumps and bruises," according to head coach Brandon Staley. Wednesday's injury report indicates that the running back's ankle is the specific concern in play, but the fact that he practiced in some capacity suggests that he has a chance to remain in the lineup this weekend against the Giants, a notion that would be solidified by Ekeler participating in Thursday's session as well.

Joey Bosa - Absent from injury report Bosa (head) was absent from the injury report Wednesday.

Impact Bosa suffered a head injury in Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Bosa has been a key figure as a pass rusher for the Chargers defense this season, logging 7.5 sacks across 12 games.

Mike Williams - Not ruled out for Week 14 Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said Wednesday that Williams was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list after being deemed a close contact of teammate Keenan Allen and is considere...

Impact Cornerback Chris Harris was also placed on the list after being deemed a close contact of Allen, who tested positive for the virus Monday. Staley's comments indicate that both Williams and Harris are following NFL protocols for unvaccinated players, as vaccinated individuals are only placed on the list as a result of positive tests. Williams will be eligible to rejoin the Chargers as long as he tests negative for the virus for five straight days. Assuming his five-day count began Monday when Allen tested positive, Williams should have a chance to report back to the Chargers' facility as soon as Saturday.

Beyond Allen and Williams, the Chargers have Jalen Guyton, Josh Palmer and Andre Roberts on hand at receiver, while running back Austin Ekeler and tight ends Jared Cook and Donald Parham could also take on pronounced roles in the passing game if the team's top two wideouts are sidelined Week 14.
