Junior Colson Latest News
Active for SNF

Colson (ankle) is active for Sunday night's contest against Kansas City. Colson was activated from injured reserve Saturday and he'll officially make his return to the field after missing the last four games with an ankle injury. The linebacker will be back in his depth role behind Daiyan Henley in the divisional matchup.
Activated off IR

The Chargers activated Colson (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday. Colson was sidelined for the Chargers' last four games due to an ankle injury. He was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, and after logging a full practice Friday, it appears the rookie third-rounder is ready to return for Sunday's AFC West clash against the Chiefs. Colson has logged 14 tackles (seven solo) and one pass defense across six regular-season games.
Could return Sunday

Colson (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs. The rookie linebacker from Michigan was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday and practiced in full Friday, giving himself a good chance to play Sunday. Colson must still be activated to the Chargers' active roster in order to play in Week 14. If he's activated, he'll likely serve as a depth piece in the team's linebacker corps while also contributing on special teams.
Designated to return from IR

The Chargers designated Colson (ankle) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Colson has been sidelined for the Chargers' last four games due to an ankle injury he suffered in Week 9 against the Browns. The rookie third-round pick was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, and he'll likely have to log at least one full practice session this week in order to have a chance at being activated off IR ahead of Sunday's AFC West clash against the Chiefs.
Shifts to IR

Colson (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports. Colson sustained an ankle injury in the Chargers' Week 9 win over the Browns, and his placement on IR on Wednesday suggests the issue is serious. The 2024 third-round pick from Michigan recorded 14 total tackles and one pass defended across six games before his injury. He'll now be forced to miss the Chargers next four games, with his earliest possible return coming in Week 14's matchup against the Chiefs.
Downgraded to out

Colson (ankle) will not return to Sunday's game versus the Browns. Colson exited with an ankle injury, which is severe enough to keep him from returning. As a result, Troy Dye will likely back up Denzel Perryman at inside linebacker.
Considered questionable to return

Colson is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup with the Browns due to an ankle injury. It is unclear how serious the ankle injury is for Colson. In his absence, Troy Dye is the likely candidate to backup Denzel Perryman at inside linebacker.
Advances to full practice

Colson (hamstring) was a full practice participant Thursday. A hamstring issue sidelined Colson both Week 3 and Week 4 ahead of the Chargers' Week 5 bye. The rookie linebacker logged a limited practice session Wednesday, but his step up to a full session Thursday suggests that he's in line to return to action Sunday versus Denver. Troy Dye could be limited to a special-teams role upon Colson's return.
Still managing hamstring injury

Colson (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Colson missed the Chargers' last two games due to a hamstring injury he sustained in Week 2 against the Panthers. Los Angeles is coming off a bye, but it appears the rookie third-round pick is continuing to work through the hamstring issue. Colson's practice participation over the next two days will provide a better idea of his status heading into Sunday's game against the Broncos.
