Chargers Keep TE Charlie Kolar Off Injured Reserve After Forearm Injury

The Chargers will keep tight end Charlie Kolar on the active roster after deciding against placing him on injured reserve following a left forearm injury suffered in Sunday’s game.

Quick facts

  • Charlie Kolar injured his left forearm on Sunday.
  • The Chargers initially appeared headed toward an injured reserve move.
  • The team has instead opted not to place Kolar on injured reserve.

The decision represents a change in direction for Los Angeles, which had been expected to use injured reserve for Kolar after the injury.

Keeping Kolar off injured reserve leaves open the possibility of a shorter absence, though the Chargers did not provide a timetable for his return or further details on the severity of the forearm injury.
