Big changes are happening for the Los Angeles Chargers! Today's moves see the team reshuffling its roster, bringing in some fresh faces and activating a key player from the injured list. Let's dive into the details.
First off, the Chargers have activated tight end Tucker Fisk from the Reserve/Injured list. This is great news, as Fisk brings valuable experience to the team. Simultaneously, wide receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith has been placed on the Reserve/Injured list.
Adding depth for Sunday's game, the Chargers are elevating wide receiver Dalevon Campbell and cornerback Isas Waxter from the practice squad. This suggests the coaching staff sees potential in these players and wants to give them a chance to shine.
Tucker Fisk's journey with the Chargers has been marked by resilience and versatility. Over the past two seasons, including the postseason, he's played in 20 games, starting 7. On offense, he's contributed with 9 receptions for 58 yards, averaging 6.4 yards per catch. Remember his 15-yard catch in last year's AFC Wild Card game? He also spent time with the Atlanta Falcons, catching a 9-yard pass and playing in 6 games in 2023. At Stanford, from 2018-21, Fisk played both tight end and defensive end. He started 11 out of 37 games, with 9 receptions for 64 yards and a touchdown on offense. Defensively, he recorded 15 tackles and 2 sacks in 2021, earning the Jack Hutson Award as the team's Defensive MVP. Fun fact: his father, Jason, played defensive tackle for the Chargers from 2002-04.
Dalevon Campbell's path to the Chargers has been winding, but full of potential. He spent the offseason and training camp with the team. He's seen action in 2 games earlier in the season with the Carolina Panthers. In his college career, he played in 60 games, starting 21. He caught 88 passes for 1,471 yards (averaging 16.7 yards per catch) and 3 touchdowns. In 2023, he earned All-Mountain West recognition after catching 31 passes for 594 yards and 2 touchdowns. Last season, he led the South Carolina Gamecocks with a 26.0-yard receiving average.
Isas Waxter has been on the Chargers' practice squad this season after signing with Seattle as an undrafted free agent. At Villanova University, he played in 46 games, with 108 tackles, 3 interceptions, and 19 passes defended. In 2023, he had 3 interceptions and earned All-Coastal Athletic Association honors.
