Hart (hip) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.

Hart (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.

Hart presumably suffered the injury in Monday's win over the Raiders, though he's managed to practice in limited fashion all week. He's served as one of the Chargers' primary outside corners this season, and Benjamin St. Juste could be in line for additional snaps if Hart is sidelined.

Hart recorded four solo tackles in Friday's 27-21 win over Kansas City.

Hart was on the field for 39 of the team's 61 total defensive snaps, finishing tied for fourth on the team in total takedowns. The 24-year-old has been thrust into a starting role at cornerback in 2025, and he is now off to a strong start to the season.

Hart (shoulder) returned to team drills Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Hart has recovered from offseason shoulder surgery. He's competing for playing time in a revamped Chargers secondary after starting six of the 14 games in which he appeared during the 2024 regular season.

Hart required offseason shoulder surgery and missed most of OTAs and minicamp, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Hart was injured in the Chargers' wild-card playoff loss to the Texans in January and needed surgery as a result. Selected in the fifth round out of Notre Dame in the 2024 Draft, Hart made six regular-season starts as a rookie and played 458 defensive snaps across 14 appearances. He finished the regular season with 37 tackles (28 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and seven pass breakups. Over the offseason, the Chargers signed veteran cornerbacks Donte Jackson and Benjamin St-Juste in free agency and also used a seventh-round pick on Trikweze Bridges. Competition for playing time at the position will be fierce during the preseason. It's unclear if Hart will be ready for the start of training camp next week.

Hart (shoulder) has been participating in the Chargers' offseason team activities.

The cornerback suffered the shoulder injury during Los Angeles' 32-12 wild-card loss to the Texans in January, and he had to exit the game and go to the locker room. Now that he's back, he should be in line for a bigger role in 2025. The 2024 fifth-round pick is projected as a starter this year after only starting seven games, regular season and playoffs, as a rookie.

Hart (shoulder) finished the 2024 regular season with 37 tackles (28 solo), including 0.5 sacks, seven pass defenses and one forced fumble across 14 games.

Hart was selected by the Chargers in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 140th overall, three spots after teammate Tarheeb Still. Hart was used mostly on special teams over the first four games of the regular season, but he did start in the six games following the Chargers' Week 5 bye and accumulated 28 tackles (19 solo), including 0.5 sacks, four pass defenses and one forced fumble over that span. Hart and Still could be the Chargers' starting outside cornerbacks for the 2025 campaign if Kristian Fulton opts to take his talents elsewhere in free agency.

Hart (shoulder) is questionable to return to Saturday's AFC wild-card game against the Texans.

Hart suffered the injury in the third quarter of Saturday's game and went straight to the locker room, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Deane Leonard and Eli Apple are set to play more snaps at outside corner for as long as Hart is sidelined.

Hart (concussion) does not carry an injury designation heading into Saturday's game against the Patriots after logging a full practice Thursday.

Hart was unable to play in the Chargers' Week 16 win over the Broncos due to a concussion he suffered against the Buccaneers in Week 15. He was able to log consecutive full practices to end the week, and he's done enough to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols ahead of Saturday's game. The rookie fifth-round pick has registered 34 tackles (25 solo), including 0.5 sacks, six pass defenses and one forced fumble across 12 regular-season games.

Hart (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Broncos.

Hart was diagnosed with a concussion during the Chargers' 40-17 loss to the Buccaneers this past Sunday, which prevented him from participating in practice all week. He'll need to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols in order to play in Week 17 against the Patriots on Saturday, Dec. 28. Tarheeb Still is the top candidate to start at outside corner Thursday opposite Kristian Fulton due to Hart's injury.

Hart (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.

Hart suffered a concussion during Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, so it's not surprising he wouldn't be able to practice the next day. However, with the Chargers on a short week and hosting the Broncos on Thursday, the team only held a walkthrough and his participant level was only an estimate. Either way, Hart will likely have a tough time clearing the league's five-step concussion protocols in time to suit up for Week 16.

Hart suffered a concussion in Sunday's Week 15 game against Tampa Bay and has been ruled out from returning, Tyler Dragon of USA Today reports.

Hart was injured late in the second quarter while defending a deep pass to Mike Evans. The rookie cornerback was subsequently ruled out just before halftime having recorded one tackle and one defensed pass prior to his exit. Ja'Sir Taylor has entered the contest in Hart's place. The Chargers next play Thursday versus Denver, and Hart will need to clear the NFL's concussion protocol by then in order to suit up.

Hart (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs.

The rookie corner from Notre Dame was sidelined for the Chargers' last two games after sustaining an ankle injury during the Week 11 win over the Bengals, but he practiced in full Friday, suggesting he's moved past the issue in time to suit up Sunday. With Hart back at full health, he's expected to start opposite Kristian Fulton as part of the Chargers' top outside cornerback duo.

Hart (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

The fifth-round rookie cornerback has missed the Chargers' last two games, but starting the week off with a limited session gives Hart a chance to return this Sunday in a big AFC West game against the Chiefs.

Hart (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 13 matchup against the Falcons.

Hart suffered a concussion Week 11 against the Bengals and missed last Monday's loss to Baltimore. While he's no longer listed as having a concussion, the rookie cornerback aggravated an ankle injury in practice last weekend, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic, and wasn't able to practice at all this week. Tarheeb Still and Kristian Fulton figure to work as Los Angeles' starting cornerbacks versus Atlanta.

Hart (concussion/ankle) is inactive for Monday Night Football against the Ravens.

The cornerback was a full participant in practice Saturday, but he still needed to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol to return in time for Monday's game.

Hart steadily increased his practice participation this week, culminating in a full session Saturday. He'll need to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols in order to play Monday. If he's unable to be cleared, Tarheeb Still and Ja'Sir Taylor would be candidates to start at corner alongside Kristian Fulton.

Hart (concussion/ankle) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.

Hart began the Chargers' week of practice with an estimated DNP after sustaining a concussion in the Week 11 win over the Bengals. However, he upgraded to a limited session Friday, which suggests he may be trending toward playing in Monday night's matchup against the Ravens. Hart must still clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up in Week 12.

Hart (concussion/ankle) was listed as a DNP on the Chargers' estimated practice report Thursday.

Hart was diagnosed with a concussion during the Chargers' Week 11 win over the Bengals this past Sunday, and the rookie fifth-round pick is also dealing with an ankle injury.

Hart (head) will not return to Sunday night's matchup with the Bengals.
