News

  • Medical concern limiting interest

    Samuel (neck/shoulder) remains unsigned and has a "medical concern" that's impacting teams' interest in him, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

    Analysis: Garafolo also confirmed the medical concern is related to the neck/shoulder injury that limited Samuel to four games in 2024. A previous report said he's dealing with something similar to stinger symptoms, though lasting for months rather than weeks. The 2021 second-round pick made 47 starts in four years with the Chargers, recording double-digit pass defenses and exactly two interceptions each of his first three years on the team. Samuel reportedly visited with the Cardinals a couple weeks…read more

  • Provides offseason update

    Samuel (shoulder) has been dealing with "stinger symptoms," which caused him to miss the majority of the 2024 season, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Samuel was limited to just four games in 2024 due to a shoulder injury, recording 13 total tackles (11 solo) and two passes defensed. The cornerback said that he's "feeling better" and that he wants to return to the Chargers in 2025. Samuel will be a free agent this offseason and it's unclear where his next destination will be, but he's confident he'll be ready for the offseason program, with whatever team that may be.

  • Not expected to play Week 13

    Speaking with the media Wednesday, coach Jim Harbaugh said the Chargers don't expect Samuel (shoulder) to play Sunday against the Falcons, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Samuel hasn't played since Week 4, and there's been no indication he's close to returning to the practice field despite being eligible to come off injured reserve at any time. When asked if he expected Samuel to play again this season, Harbaugh replied, "I don't know." Kristian Fulton, Elijah Molden, Ja'Sir Taylor, Tarheeb Still and Deane Leonard are filling cornerback duties.

  • Moves to injured reserve

    Samuel (shoulder) was placed on IR on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Samuel hurt his shoulder prior to the Chargers' season opener but was able to start each of the team's first four games. However, the Week 5 bye didn't help Samuel overcome the issue, and his placement on IR means he'll need to miss at least Los Angeles' next four contests. Cam Hart will likely take Samuel's spot in the starting lineup at cornerback.

  • Out versus Broncos

    Samuel (shoulder) is out for Sunday's outing against Denver.

    Analysis: Samuel has had a lingering shoulder injury since the beginning of September, but he'll now miss his first game of the season due to it. The 2021 second-round pick has 13 tackles (11 solo) so far this season, and his next chance to play will be Oct. 21 against Arizona.

  • Good to go Sunday

    Samuel (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Samuel tweaked his shoulder during Friday's practice, but it isn't serious enough to hold him out of the Chargers' regular-season opener. The 2021 second-round pick will start opposite Kristian Fulton at corner.

  • Injures shoulder Friday

    Samuel (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters that Samuel tweaked his shoulder during Friday's practice and is now in jeopardy of missing the Chargers' regular-season opener Sunday, per Rhim. If Samuel is unable to suit up in Week 1, expect Kristian Fulton, Deane Leonard and Cam Hart to see increased snaps at outside corner.

  • Disappoints in second season

    Samuel finished the 2022-23 season with 57 tackles (48 solo), one tackle for loss, two interceptions, a fumble recovery and 11 passes defended across 17 games.

    Analysis: Samuel served as the Chargers' No. 1 corner after J.C. Jackson suffered a season-ending knee injury in late October. The 23-year-old had a disappointing second season, recording the same amount of pass deflections and interceptions as he did during his rookie year despite playing in five more games, while also allowing a team-high six touchdowns. While the potential is there, Samuel has struggled with consistency but will look to try and put it all together going into his third season.

  • Two passes defended in loss

    Samuel recorded four assisted tackles and two passes defended during Sunday's 37-23 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Samuel finished with a team high in passes defended as he made his seventh start of the season against Seattle. The second-year cornerback has played all but four defensive snaps for the Chargers this season, recording 26 tackles, seven passes defended and an interception. Samuel should continue to serve as the Bolts' top cornerback with J.C. Jackson (kneecap) now expected to miss the remainder of the 2022 campaign.

  • Not in line to start

    Samuel appears to be losing ground on the starting outside cornerback role opposite J.C. Jackson, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Michael Davis was expected to lose his starting role after the offseason signings of Jackson and slot corner Bryce Callahan, but instead it appears as if Samuel could be relegated to No. 4 corner. Samuel did play slot at times for the Chargers during his rookie campaign and showed flashes of being a turnover difference maker, but Callahan's excellence in that capacity might mean the second-year corner is simply the odd man out of the starting equation.

  • Set for return

    Samuel (concussion) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    Analysis: Samuel has been sidelined since Week 12 with a concussion, though he logged a trio of full practices this week. Now that he's cleared from concussion protocol, Samuel should return to a substantial role in the Chargers' secondary. The rookie has recorded 31 total tackles with seven passes defended and two interceptions across nine games.

    Samuel (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session.

    Analysis: Samuel has missed the last four games due to a concussion, but his full participation in practice Wednesday is an encouraging sign. If he can remain a full participant Thursday and Friday, he should have a good chance to return for Sunday's matchup against the Texans.

  • Questionable Thursday

    Samuel (concussion) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Samuel was a limited participant at practice Monday and Tuesday, and he has a chance to return Thursday following a three-game absence due to a concussion. If he's unavailable once again, Chris Harris should continue to see additional playing time.

    Analysis: Samuel sustained his injury in the second half of Sunday's matchup after he recorded seven tackles (five solo) and a pass defense to begin the game. If he's diagnosed with a concussion, he'll have several steps to clear if he hopes to play in Week 12.

    Analysis: Samuel picked up the concussion in the Chargers' Week 8 game against the Patriots. He was unable to clear protocols in time to be available Sunday.

  • Won't return in Week 8

    Samuel has been ruled out with a concussion.

  • First career pick

    Samuel recorded four tackles (one solo) and an interception in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Samuel recorded his first career interception on a badly overthrown pass by Dak Prescott, returning it 26 yards to set up the Chargers in great scoring position. The rookie second-round pick has been a pivotal starter through two weeks while averaging close to 90 percent of the defensive snaps, more than exceeding expectations to date.
