The Chargers will have that three-week period to either place Chark on the active roster or put him back on injured reserve for the remainder of the season. Chark, a former second-round pick in his eighth NFL season, has 212 career receptions. This is his first year with the Chargers.

The injury updates for Los Angeles Chargers star Joey Bosa keep the intrigue at a high level, at least. Bosa, dealing with a hip injury aggravated in Week 3, is "still working through something," in the words of Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh.

One of the biggest topics discussed was wideout D.J. Chark’s availability this week now that his four-game minimum wait on IR is well past complete. When asked, Harbaugh noted that they were planning to open Chark’s 21-day window on Wednesday but did not specify whether he’d be returning to the field as soon as this week.
