Valdes-Scantling linked up with the Chargers in mid-September and got into three games with the club, catching two of five targets for 22 yards. Los Angeles activated KeAndre Lambert-Smith (hamstring) from IR on Saturday, and Valdes-Scantling was the corresponding roster cut. The veteran wideout may now seek out an opportunity with another NFL organization in need of wide-receiver depth.
Reporter
Valdes-Scantling was limited Wednesday, though his full participation Thursday suggests he will be good to go Sunday versus the Chiefs. The 32-year-old has appeared in three games for Los Angeles in 2026, catching two passes (five targets) for 22 yards.
Injury / practice
Valdes-Scantling is dealing with a rib injury that he likely suffered during the Chargers' Week 5 loss to the Broncos. The wide receiver was not given an official injury designation and has already practiced in a limited fashion during the first prep session of Week 6. This indicates that Valdes-Scantling is dealing with a minor injury and will likely be able to suit up for Week 6 against the Chiefs.
