Thomas Martinez· Sep 23, 2026

Martinez expects the Chargers to place Charlie Kolar and David Njoku on injured reserve, to fill an opened roster spot by either re-signing Gary Jennings or signing Marquez Valdez-Scantling, and says Trevor Penning will start at one of the guard spots against Buffalo.

“More than likely they will re-sign Jennings or will sign Marquez Valdez-Scantling to the 53-man roster.”
