Chargers Injury Report: Star Receiver Expected To Partake In Team Practices For Raiders Game

The three-year Charger pass catcher is set to return to action

Although your Los Angeles Chargers lost their young stud quarterback, Justin Herbert, to a season-ending right index finger fracture, they will be getting back another key offensive contributor.

The Chargers announced they will be activating young wide receiver Joshua Palmer from the injury reserve, who is set to be a full participant in practice this week.

Palmer has missed the Chargers' last six games. He was limited last week during practice, but he is expected to be a full participant and is expected to play against the Raiders in their primetime Thursday night matchup. 

Palmer has played in seven games this season, and in those games, he's collected 23 receptions for 377 yards and one touchdown with a receiving success rate of 48.7. 

The 24-year-old will make his return to the lineup but will instead receive passes from backup quarterback Easton Stick. Things never seemed to go right for the Bolts, and now they'll do their best to finish the season on a positive note. 

Welcome back, Joshua!
