ESPN’s Kris Rhim reports that Chargers TE Charlie Kolar (forearm) will not be placed on injured reserve. 2026-09-23 15:00:01 Kolar’s surgery earlier this week reportedly changed his prognosis. Kolar was expected to land on short-term injured reserve and miss at least four games. Apparently, the team expects him back sooner than that. Backup TE Oronde Gadsden is still set to start, given Kolar and TE David Njoku’s (knee) injuries, but Gadsden’s audition window has evidently shrunk. He remains a worthwhile add and can be started by TE-needy fantasy managers in what should be a productive game environment against the Bills this week. |

Chargers TE Charlie Kolar (forearm) is undergoing surgery and plans to return in four weeks. 2026-09-22 18:00:03 The Chargers will welcome Kolar back in a month barring complications. He was already placed on IR yesterday, but this timetable update shows that he should be ready to return in late October. |

Chargers placed TE Charlie Kolar (forearm) on injured reserve. 2026-09-21 18:00:02 We don’t yet know when Kolar could return, but he will have to miss at least the next four games now that he’s on injured reserve. Kolar was seeing a decent workload during the first two weeks of the season, as his 72 snaps led all Chargers tight ends, while his 24 routes run were only one fewer than David Njoku’s 25. With Njoku (fibula) also on injured reserve, Oronde Gadsden could be in line for a significant workload over the next several weeks. |

Charlie Kolar was seen wearing a sling around his left arm after the Chargers’ Week 2 loss to the Raiders. 2026-09-20 22:00:02 Jim Harbaugh did not have an update on Kolar after the game. Kolar left Week 2 early with a forearm injury and did not return. David Njoku had already exited the game with a knee injury. Assuming both players are out for a while, Oronde Gadsden now finds himself in a position to play an every-down role for the Chargers. |

Charlies Kolar was not targeted on the Chargers’ Week 1 loss against the Cardinals. 2026-09-13 22:00:02 Kolar, listed as the Chargers’ No. 1 tight end in August, ran 13 routes, the second most among LA tight ends behind David Njoku. Kolar’s role as a blocker should limit his pass catching role in the Mike McDaniels offense. He should remain on waiver wires ahead of Week 2. |
