The Los Angeles Chargers have placed wide receiver D.J. Chark on injured reserve due to a hip injury, sidelining him for at least the first four games of the season. Chark was expected to start as the outside WR opposite Josh Palmer, but now rookie WR Quentin Johnston will have the chance to step up. However, there are concerns about Johnston's ability to capitalize on this opportunity as the Chargers prepare for their season opener against the Raiders.
- D.J. Chark's injury creates a significant opportunity for Quentin Johnston.
- Chark can be dropped in redraft leagues due to his extended absence.
