Jim Harbaugh provides huge Chargers injury update after minicamp

Whether it be a veteran looking for a bounce-back season in LA or an undrafted free agent looking for a roster spot, there are several players on that list who need to be active during training camp. Thankfully, the early signs are that they will be.

There are several storylines stemming from the players who will return to action during training camp. Most notable is the wide receiver position, which should see the return of Mike Williams and the debut of KeAndre Lambert-Smith in a more official capacity.

The Chargers re-signed Williams this past offseason and after a down season in New York and Pittsburgh, Williams is looking to return to form back at his old home. Lambert-Smith, meanwhile, is fighting for every single snap as a depth wideout.

It's also incredibly promising that Elijah Molden will be ready for training camp. The breakout safety was injured in Week 18 last season and it was unclear if he would be ready for the start of the 2025 season. After signing a three-year deal with the Chargers this offseason, Molden should be ready in Week 1, barring any setbacks.

The rest of the injured players are fighting for roster spots. Deane Leonard is established, but his spot on the 53-man roster is not guaranteed. UDFAs Luke Grimm and Myles Purchase, and former rugby player Jordan Petaia, all have to impress during training camp to earn a roster spot.

Naturally, more injuries will happen and there will be several players who either miss part of training camp or practice in a limited capacity. Thankfully, though, the Chargers don't appear to be heading into training camp with any injury baggage that will put the team behind the eight ball.
