Simi Fehoko Injury News & Updates

Fehoko (wrist) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Fehoko suffered the injury in Sunday's Week 10 loss to the Seahawks. He'll now be out until at least Week 15. The Cardinals' wide receiver corps has taken a significant hit recently, with Zay Jones (Achilles) out for the year and Marvin Harrison (appendectomy) out for at least Week 11.

Head coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday that Fehoko is expected to "miss some time" due to a wrist injury he sustained against the Seahawks on Sunday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Fehoko was unable to return to Sunday's game after suffering a wrist injury in the second half, and the injury could be severe enough for him to be a candidate for injured reserve. The 2021 fifth-rounder has mostly been utilized on special teams this season, but his absence would be another blow to a Cardinals wideout corps that is also dealing with injuries to Zay Jones (Achilles) and Xavier Weaver (ankle).

Fehoko (wrist) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Seahawks.

Fehoko suffered a wrist injury in the second half, ultimately bringing his day to a premature end. The wide receiver didn't log any offensive stats before his departure.

Fehoko (concussion) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Titans, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Fehoko entered the league's concussion protocol during the Cardinals' Week 4 win over the Seahawks. He ended the week with back-to-back full practices, and he has progressed enough through the league's protocol to be cleared to play in Sunday's home game. The 2021 fifth-rounder has been limited to special-teams work in the three games he has played in this season.

Fehoko (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Fehoko was diagnosed with a concussion during the Cardinals' Week 4 loss to the Seahawks. His ability to practice in full Thursday is a positive sign, but the 2021 fifth-rounder will need to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol in order to play against the Titans on Sunday. Fehoko has played 38 snaps on special teams through three games this season.

Fehoko (concussion) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Fehoko suffered a concussion in last Thursday night's loss to the Seahawks and remains in the league's protocol. Fehoko has yet to play an offensive snap this season but has logged 38 on special teams.

Fehoko (concussion) is out for the rest of Thursday night's game against the Seahawks, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

The wide receiver did not record a stat before exiting. Fehoko moved up to the active roster Sept. 10 and played on 29 special-teams snaps over the next two games. He did not see a snap on offense.

Fehoko was signed to the Cardinals' active roster Wednesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

The 2021 fifth-round pick joined the Cardinals' practice squad after failing to make the initial 53-man roster in late August. However, with the injury to key special-teamer Joey Blount (neck/concussion), Fehoko has been added to the active roster. The Stanford product is expected to contribute on special teams and as a depth piece in Arizona's wide receiver corps as the season continues.

The Cardinals signed Fehoko to the practice squad Thursday, Zach Gershman of the team's official site reports.

Fehoko was a somewhat surprising omission from the Cardinals' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he'll stay with the organization as a member of the practice squad. Arizona carried only five wide receivers on the 53-man squad, so Fehoko is a top candidate to be elevated from the practice squad should the Cardinals require depth at wideout on game day.

The Cardinals released Fehoko on Tuesday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

This one comes as a mild surprise, as Fehoko appeared to be a leading candidate for one of the final wideout spots in Arizona due to his ability to play special teams. Fehoko played 41 offensive snaps and another 21 on special teams during the preseason, securing three of his six targets for 31 yards and two touchdowns.

Fehoko hauled in one of two targets for 10 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 20-10 preseason win versus the Raiders.

After surprisingly sitting out the Cardinals' preseason opener, Fehoko scored TDs in both of the team's final two exhibitions, connecting with backup signal-caller Jacoby Brissett in Denver last Saturday and No. 3 QB Clayton Tune in the most recent contest. Fehoko has been listed as the direct backup to WR Marvin Harrison on Arizona's unofficial depth chart this month, and his performance may have been enough to earn him a spot on the initial roster ahead of Week 1.

Fehoko signed a contract with the Cardinals on Friday.

Fehoko handled a greater role than anticipated in his eight regular-season appearances with the Chargers last year, in which he logged six catches (on 16 targets) for 106 yards. He missed the last 10 weeks of the regular season due to an elbow injury, but made a return in time for Los Angeles' wild-card round loss to Houston. Fehoko will now compete for a depth role in Arizona's wide receiver corps.

Fehoko played in eight regular-season games, making six catches on 16 targets for 106 yards.

Fehoko saw more work than expected in 2024 due to injuries in the Chargers' receiving corps before he suffered one of his own. The Stanford product missed the final nine regular-season games due to an elbow injury that involved a stint on injured reserve, before returning for a wild card loss to the Texans. The 27-year-old will now enter free agency, assuming he does not re-sign with the Chargers before the start of the new league year in March.

Fehoko (elbow) is active for Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Texans.

Fehoko was activated from IR on Friday after missing the final 10 contests of the regular season due to an elbow issue. The fourth-year wideout will provide important receiver depth for Los Angeles on Saturday with Joshua Palmer (foot) unable to suit up. That said, Fehoko will likely be fifth on the wideout depth chart Saturday behind Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, DJ Chark and Derius Davis, so he may not log more than a minor offensive snap count.

The Chargers activated Fehoko (elbow) from IR on Friday.

Fehoko is still listed as questionable for Saturday's road AFC wild-card matchup against the Texans, but his activation from IR is a necessary step in order for him to take the field. With Joshua Palmer (foot) ruled out versus Houston, and Quentin Johnston (thigh) expected to play through injury, Fehoko's availability as a depth wideout could be a notable help for the Chargers.

Fehoko (elbow), who still remains on injury reserve, practiced in full Thursday and is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's road wild-card round matchup against the Texans.

Fehoko had his 21-day practice window opened Tuesday, and he's since logged a LP-FP-FP activity pattern. He'll need to be activated from IR in order to be eligible to play Saturday, but it looks like the depth wideout could be able to contribute during Los Angeles' road wild-card clash at Houston.

Fehoko (elbow) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.

Fehoko was placed on injured reserve Nov. 6 due to an elbow injury he suffered in Week 9 against the Browns. His 21-day window to return from IR opened Tuesday, but his limited participation in practice indicates he still has a ways to go in his recovery before returning to play. Fehoko would have to be activated off IR in order to play in Saturday's wild-card round game against the Texans.

The Chargers announced Tuesday that Fehoko (elbow) has had his 21-day window to return from IR opened, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Fehoko could potentially return from IR as early as Saturday's wild-card round playoff matchup against the Texans. Once cleared to retake the field, Fehoko will stand to contribute in a depth role in the Chargers' wide receiver corps.

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday that he doesn't expect Fehoko's (elbow) practice window to open this week, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

Fehoko has been on IR since Nov. 6 due to an elbow issue. He's now eligible to be activated, but it doesn't sound like that's going to happen this week. Fehoko had been getting occasional good run prior to his injury, playing at least 73 percent of the Chargers' offensive snaps in three of his eight games, but he was inefficient with just six catches on 16 targets -- though he turned those receptions into 106 yards -- over eight games.

The Chargers placed Fehoko (elbow) on injured reserve Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Fehoko was injured during Sunday's win over the Browns and will now miss at least four games. His earliest possible date for a return is Week 14 at Kansas City (Dec. 8), with the upcoming absence potentially freeing up more snaps for Joshua Palmer, DJ Chark (groin), Jalen Reagor and/or Derius Davis. Rookie Ladd McConkey is locked in as the No. 1 target, with Quentin Johnston having also been a regular starter when healthy.

Fehoko is questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Browns due to an elbow injury, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Fehoko failed to bring in his only target prior to exiting the game. The severity of his elbow injury is unknown at this time.

Fehoko failed to secure his two targets in Sunday's 26-8 win over the Saints.

Fehoko played 79 of the Chargers' offensive snaps Sunday, the highest snap rate of any Los Angeles wideout. Despite leading the wide receiver corps in snaps, the 26-year-old was a complete non-factor against the Saints. The Chargers identity as a run-first team has shifted a bit in recent weeks, but not enough to support multiple wide receivers for fantasy purposes. With Ladd McConkey beginning to break out and Quentin Johnston's (ankle) impending return, Fehoko will remain far off the fantasy radar going forward. The Chargers will visit the Browns in Week 9.

Fehoko secured three of his six targets for 45 yards in Monday's 17-15 loss to the Cardinals.

Fehoko played 92 percent of the Chargers' offensive snaps Sunday, his highest mark of the season and the most of any Los Angeles wideout in the contest. The fourth-year wideout also saw six targets, another season-high for the 26-year-old. Despite his increased involvement in the offense, Fehoko was unable to make much noise for fantasy purposes against Arizona. Heading into a Week 8 matchup with the Saints, Fehoko remains an unreliable fantasy option in a run-heavy offensive scheme.

Fehoko (shoulder/groin) is listed as active Monday at Arizona.

After opening Week 7 prep with a limited listing due to shoulder and groin injuries, Fehoko got back to full participation Friday and Saturday but still was listed as questionable for Monday's game. With his active status confirmed, he'll mix in at wide receiver for the Chargers along with Brenden Rice and Jalen Reagor behind Joshua Palmer and Ladd McConkey with Quentin Johnston (ankle) and Derius Davis (hamstring) sidelined. In five appearances this season, Fehoko has hauled in three of seven targets for 61 yards.

Fehoko (shoulder/groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Cardinals.

Fehoko was a full participant in both Friday and Saturday's practice, so it's probably fair to assume the fourth-year wide receiver should be available for Monday. Fehoko's status bears some bit of consequence given Quentin Johnston (ankle) and Hayden Hurst (groin) are both doubtful, while wide receivers Ladd McConkey (hip), DJ Chark (groin) and Derius Davis (hamstring) are all listed as questionable. Fehoko did catch two passes for 44 yards last week in the absence of Johnston, and he could see more opportunities in this Los Angeles wide receiver room ravaged by injuries.

Fehoko (shoulder/groin) practiced fully Friday.

Fehoko was estimated as a limited participant on Thursday's practice report, but his full participation in Friday's session paves the way for him to suit up Monday night against the Cardinals. Fehoko has just three catches on seven targets for 61 yards in five games to date, but two of those catches (for 44 yards) occurred in the Chargers' win over the Broncos in Week 6, when Fehoko saw a season-high 51 percent snap share. Ultimately, his Week 7 fantasy upside hinges on the availability of fellow WRs Quentin Johnston (ankle, DNP on Friday) and Ladd McConkey (hip, LP on Friday).

Fehoko (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice session.

Fehoko played a season-high 37 snaps in Week 6 against the Broncos and finished the game with two catches (on four targets) for 44 yards. However, it appears the 2021 fifth-round pick may have picked up a shoulder injury during the contest, which limited him in practice Thursday. Fehoko will have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Fehoko caught two of his four targets for 44 yards in the 23-17 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Quentin Johnston was in and out of the game with an ankle injury, so Fehoko ended up taking more of the work opposite usual stalwart Ladd McConkey. He's only played more than 30 snaps twice this season, and given the Chargers' limited passing attack, Fehoko is still outside of the fantasy radar for the majority of formats.

Fehoko caught one of his three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Steelers.

Fehoko played 33 of the Chargers' 46 offensive snaps Sunday with Joshua Palmer (elbow/calf) sidelined for the contest. Despite seeing his highest snap share of the early season, the 26-year-old wideout was unable to get things going while the entire offense struggled against a formidable Steelers defense. Going forward, Fehoko doesn't hold much fantasy value, especially when Palmer can make his return to the lineup. The Chargers host the Chiefs in Week 4.

Fehoko caught both his targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 26-19 preseason win over the Cowboys.

Facing the team he made his NFL debut with in 2021, Fehoko got under a deep pass from Easton Stick on the first play of the second quarter, shed his defender and stayed in bounds before sprinting into the end zone. Fehoko is fighting for one of the last spots on an unsettled wide receiver depth chart following the offseason departures of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams (knee), but even Saturday's big play might not have been enough to claim a job on the season-opening roster. The Stanford product may have to settle for a spot on the Chargers' practice squad instead.

The Chargers signed Fehoko to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Following Mike Williams' season-ending torn ACL early in the season, Fehoko got some run on offense for the Bolts, playing in six games and catching a nine-yard touchdown on two targets. The former fifth-round pick of the Cowboys will compete for a depth job in the offseason.

Fehoko signed with the Charges' practice squad Thursday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Fehoko has appeared in six games this season, but after being a healthy scratch for Week 13 against the Patriots, the Stanford product was waived Tuesday. He'll now return to the Chargers' organization but as a member of the practice squad where he'll work to make his way back to the 53-man roster.

Fehoko was waived by the Chargers on Tuesday.

Fehoko will head to waivers after hauling in one of two targets for nine yards and a touchdown in six games played this season. The 2021 fifth-round pick, who can contribute on both offense and special teams, will now look for another opportunity with a new team.

Fehoko (coach's decision) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots.

The 26-year-old wideout seems to have fallen down Los Angeles' depth chart, as the team signed Alex Erickson to its active roster Saturday, and he'll suit up over Fehoko in Week 13. Fehoko has appeared in six games for the Chargers this season, catching one of his two targets for nine yards and one touchdown.

Fehoko caught one of his two targets for nine yards a touchdown in the 30-13 win over the Bears on Sunday.

It's unclear why Fehoko suddenly saw 16 offensive snaps after being limited to just special teams duties in the prior two games with the Chargers, but the third-year player was able to make the most of it scoring his first career touchdown. Fehoko really never got much opportunities with the Cowboys in past seasons, but at the very least it's clear offensive coordinator Kellen Moore does value the big-bodied target somewhat.

The Chargers signed Fehoko off of Pittsburgh's practice squad Tuesday.

After Mike Williams went down for the season Sunday with a torn ACL, it makes sense for the Chargers to add some depth to their wide receiver room. Fehoko's path to targets is a narrow one though, as he'll likely be behind Keenan Allen, Joshua Palmer and Quentin Johnston, at least to start.

Fehoko signed with the Steelers' practice squad Thursday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Fehoko was waived by the Cowboys on Tuesday and he will now head to Pittsburgh prior to the 2023 campaign. The wide receiver appeared in five games with Dallas in 2022, reeling in three catches for 24 yards over 34 offensive snaps.

The Cowboys waived Fehoko on Tuesday.

Fehoko missed the end of the 2022 campaign due to a shoulder injury but returned to full health during the offseason. He got some run with the first-team offense during OTAs but was unable to secure a spot on the 53-man roster. However, it's possible he at least earns a spot on a practice squad in 2023.

Fehoko returned to practice Thursday after missing time due to a quad contusion, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Fehoko suffered the injury Monday and wasn't expected to miss too much time. The third-year pro is working to maintain his depth role in the Cowboys' receiving corps after appearing in five games last season and catching three balls on four targets for 24 yards.

Fehoko suffered a quad contusion during Monday's practice and didn't participate Tuesday, but he should return later in the week, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Fehoko's injury appears minor, so there shouldn't be any concern about his availability for preseason action. The 2021 fifth-round pick has impressed during offseason work and is vying for the fourth wide receiver spot on Dallas' depth chart with Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin.

Fehoko could be ahead in the battle for the fourth wide receiver spot on the Cowboys' depth chart after OTAs, Patrik Walker of the team's website reports.

A fifth-round pick out of Stanford in 2021, Fehoko has only three catches through his first two NFL seasons, but he got some run in OTAs on the first team with Dak Prescott under center and showed sharp routes and sticky hands. Given his 6-3, 220-pound frame, Fehoko could be the most logical candidate to handle the role previously filled by Noah Brown as a core special teamer, run blocker and secondary target -- a role Brown turned into 43 catches for 555 yards and three TDs last year. Heading into mandatory minicamp, 2022 third-round pick Jalen Tolbert appears to be Fehoko's primary competition for the WR4 spot.

Fehoko is now fully recovered from his shoulder injury, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Fehoko returned to the field last week after injuring his shoulder back in October. The 2021 fifth-round pick caught three of his four targets for 24 yards last season and will look to compete for a depth role ahead of the 2023 campaign.

The Cowboys designated Fehoko to return from injured reserve Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Fehoko was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury back on Oct. 15, but Thursday now accounts as the second-year wide receiver's first opportunity to resume practicing and possibly join Dallas' active roster prior to Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the 49ers. If Fehoko is eventually promoted prior to this weekend's contest, he likely won't top 10 offensive snaps.

Dallas placed Fehoko (shoulder) on its injured reserve list Saturday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Fehoko was forced out of the Cowboys' win at the Rams in Week 5 early with a shoulder injury, and he'll now be forced to miss at least the next four games as he recovers. KaVontae Turpin should see an increase in reps until Fehoko returns.

Fehoko (shoulder) was listed as a full participant during Dallas' walkthrough practice Wednesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Fehoko recorded one reception (one target) for 12 yards over two offensive snaps before exiting Monday's win over the Giants with a shoulder injury. While the Cowboys did not hold a full practice Wednesday, the second-year wideout seems to have quickly overcome this issue. Fehoko has played 23 offensive snaps through the first three games of the season, though his usage could diminish even further if Michael Gallup, who is nearing a return from his torn ACL, is available to play in Week 4.

Fehoko (shoulder) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Giants, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports

Fehoko recorded one reception (one target) for 12 yards before sustaining a shoulder injury at some point during Monday's contest, though the exact nature and severity of this issue are still unclear. In the second-year wideout's absence, Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin should see increased targets in Week 3.

Fehoko caught two of five targets for eight yards and a touchdown in Friday's preseason game against the Seahawks.

The 2021 fifth-round pick wasn't exactly consistent in this contest, but the same could be said for the entire Dallas passing game as a patchwork offensive line couldn't give the team's quarterbacks many clean pockets. Fehoko was on the other end of a one-yard TD toss from Will Grier in the second quarter on a designed rollout though, and overall he has looked much more comfortable heading into his second NFL campaign. Fehoko will be competing with Jalen Tolbert, Noah Brown (toe), Dennis Houston and KaVontae Turpin for snaps and targets behind CeeDee Lamb (foot) in Week 1, as that group of unproven wideouts try to secure their spots on the depth chart before Michael Gallup (knee) and James Washington (foot) return to action.

Fehoko has been one of the standout players in practice the last few days, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

The 2021 fifth-round pick didn't see a target as a rookie and was used only sparingly on special teams, but Fehoko seems a lot more comfortable heading into his second NFL season and his athleticism has been showing up in camp. There are a lot of snaps and targets up for grabs at wide receiver in Dallas behind CeeDee Lamb and rookie Jalen Tolbert to begin the season, with Fehoko, Noah Brown, Dennis Houston, T.J. Vasher and KaVontae Turpin all jockeying for position on the depth chart, but Fehoko appears to be the one with the most momentum heading into Saturday's preseason opener against the Broncos.

Fehoko was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.

While Fehoko now has the opportunity to play Week 17, that doesn't mean he will, as he's been a healthy scratch each of the last three games. If he does suit up, whatever playing time he gets will likely come on special teams.

Fehoko was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday, per Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News.

Fehoko was a healthy scratch in each of the previous two weeks, so his probable absence this Sunday isn't likely to disrupt Dallas' game plan. The rookie receiver will need to clear league protocols before he is able to rejoin the team.

Fehoko (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Fehoko will be in street clothes for the second straight week with Dallas mostly at full strength at receiver with the exception of depth option Noah Brown (groin), who was moved to injured reserve earlier this month. The rookie fifth-round pick out of Stanford is the clear No. 6 man on the depth chart at the moment with all of CeeDee Lamb, Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, Cedrick Wilson and Malik Turner firmly ahead of him.

Fehoko (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Eagles, Armando Salguero of Outkick reports.

The same is true of fellow wide receiver Amari Cooper (ribs), so Fehoko's unlikely to play a role in Dallas' passing attack. The rookie fifth-round pick is yet to play a snap on offense in his career, having been limited exclusively to special teams duties through two weeks.

Fehoko caught three of four targets for 21 yards in Sunday's preseason loss to the Jaguars.

With the Cowboys' resting all of their key offensive personnel, Fehoko has a chance to steal the spotlight but wasn't able to do much as the Dallas offense sputtered most of the game. The fifth-round pick out of Stanford seems to be on the outside looking in for a spot in the top five on the wide receiver depth chart, and Fehoko could be headed for the practice squad to begin the season as a result.
