The Story in 60 Seconds

Bolt Beat's G.C. Bellchamber argues that the struggling Los Angeles Chargers offense will prevent tight end David Njoku from achieving a productive revival season as he prepares to return from injured reserve. Njoku suffered a leg injury and has missed every game since Week 2, recording just six catches for 67 yards this year. Head coach Jim Harbaugh stated that Njoku's practice window is likely opening this week.

Bellchamber points out that the Chargers rank 32nd in EPA per play and 29th in total passing yards under Mike McDaniel. The writer concludes that despite Njoku's return, the unit's severe struggles make it unlikely he will re-establish significant market value ahead of free agency.
