The Los Angeles Chargers are being urged to pursue a trade for Dallas Cowboys tight end Luke Schoonmaker following injuries at the position. Head coach Jim Harbaugh placed David Njoku on injured reserve with a fibula injury, while Charlie Kolar is expected to miss time due to a forearm injury, leaving the winless Chargers depleted at tight end.

Analysts suggest a trade for Schoonmaker would benefit both sides, as the former Michigan player has fallen behind Jake Ferguson and Brevyn Spann-Ford on Dallas's depth chart during the final year of his contract.
