Chark was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
It's a tough blow for Chark's marginal fantasy value as the veteran figured to have an upper hand to be one of the team's top-three pass catchers given his experience relative to Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey. With that opportunity now gone, Chark won't be eligible to return until Week 6 as the team has the earliest possible bye in Week 5.

Chark (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's season opener against the Raiders.
With Chark unavailable, Joshua Palmer, Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston are slated to lead the Chargers' Week 1 wideout corps. Chark, who didn't practice this week, will thus target a potential return to action Sept. 15 versus the Panthers.
Not dressed for practice Friday

Chark (hip) is watching Friday's practice in street clothes, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Chark appears set to miss a third consecutive practice, in which case he'll be a strong candidate to miss Sunday's regular-season opener against the Raiders. Friday's practice report will reveal the veteran wideout's official injury designation for Week 1. In the event that Chark isn't able to go, the Chargers will stand to roll with Joshua Palmer, Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston as the top options in three-wide sets.
Still sidelined Thursday

Chark (hip) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Chark came up limping in practice on Aug. 19 and has been dealing with the injury ever since. Back-to-back DNPs to open the practice week aren't a good sign for the veteran wideout's Week 1 availability against the Raiders, but Chark has one more day of practice to get out there ahead of Sunday. If Chark is unable to play, Joshua Palmer, Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston would likely be the Chargers' three-wide set versus Las Vegas.
Doesn't practice Wednesday
Published: 2024-09-04
Chark (hip) didn't practice Wednesday.
Chark's been dealing with an injury since last month, and Wednesday's injury report confirmed that the wideout is tending to a hip issue. Chark will need to return to practice by Friday in order to avoid a Week 1 injury designation, but if he's limited or out Sunday against the Raiders, Joshua Palmer, Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston would be in line to lead the team's WR corps versus Las Vegas.
Not seen at practice

Chark (hip) wasn't spotted at Wednesday's practice, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
The Chargers' upcoming practice report will confirm both Chark's participation level and the nature of his injury. Assuming he is listed as 'DNP' he'll have two more chances to get reps in before Sunday's season opener against the Raiders.
Still missing from practice
Published: 2024-09-02
Chark (hip) wasn't seen at the portion of Monday's practice open to the media, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Chark is two weeks removed from developing a limp due to an apparent hip injury in practice, which has sidelined him in the meantime. The Chargers aren't required to post an injury report until Wednesday ahead of Sunday's contest against the Raiders, so clarity surrounding his situation may come in the near future. Once he's healthy, Chark will be part of a receiving corps that's paced by Joshua Palmer, Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston.
Misses another practice
Published: 2024-08-22
Chark (undisclosed) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Chark was shook up during Monday's practice, with Daniel Popper of The Athletic suggesting afterward that the wideout may have sustained a hip issue. With another missed practice under his belt Thursday, Chark doesn't seem likely to play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Cowboys.
Not practicing Tuesday
Published: 2024-08-20
Chark (undisclosed) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Chark came up limping after an 11-on-11 play during Monday's practice, with Popper indicating afterward that the wideout may have sustained a hip issue. With a missed practice Tuesday, the wideout's status for Saturday's preseason finale against the Cowboys is unclear.
