Cleared to return Week 11
Still (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Still has been cleared to return Sunday from a two-game absence due to an MCL sprain that he sustained against the Titans in Week 9. His return will likely result in less defensive snaps for Benjamin St-Juste.
Nov 14, 2025
Could return Sunday
Still (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The second-year pro from Maryland upgraded from limited practice Thursday to a full session Friday, suggesting he's nearing a return after missing the Chargers' last two games due to a sprained MCL. If Still is active for the Week 11 contest, he's expected to play as one of the team's top cornerbacks.
Nov 9, 2025
Inactive for Week 10
Still (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.
ANALYSIS
Still will miss a second straight game due to a sprained MCL in his knee that he picked up in Week 8 against the Vikings, and his next opportunity to play is Week 11 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Nov. 16. Nikko Reed could see more rotational snaps in the secondary behind Derwin James, Cam Hart and Donte Jackson due to Still's absence.
Nov 7, 2025
Unlikely to play Week 10
Still (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Still is recovering from a sprained MCL that he sustained in Week 8 against the Vikings. He was unable to practice all week to draw the doubtful tag, and the 2024 fifth-rounder is trending toward missing a second straight game. Nikko Reed is poised to see more snaps at slot corner assuming Still is ruled out for Week 10.
Nov 5, 2025
Unable to practice Wednesday
Still (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Still was sidelined for Sunday's game at Tennessee with a knee injury he suffered in Week 8 versus the Vikings, and now his availability for Week 10 is in question. He'll likely have to get back to practice Thursday or Friday to have any shot at playing Sunday versus the Steelers.
Oct 31, 2025
Out for Week 9
Still (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Still logged a trio of DNPs this week at practice and is dealing with a multi-week MCL injury. Ja'Sir Taylor and Benjamin St-Juste will be in line for increased defensive action behind Cam Hart and Donte Jackson at cornerback.
Oct 26, 2025
Will miss time due to knee injury
Still is expected to miss two-to-four weeks due to an MCL sprain that he sustained during the Chargers' Week 8 win over the Vikings on Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Still sustained the injury in the second half of Thursday's game and finished with three tackles (two solo) and one pass defense. The Chargers have three more games until their bye in Week 12, so it's possible that the second-year corner is held out until Week 13 against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 30. Ja'Sir Taylor should see an increased workload on defense as the Chargers' slot cornerback for as long as Still is sideliend.
Oct 23, 2025
Questionable to return
Still (knee) is questionable to return to Thursday night's contest against the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Still suffered a knee injury in the second half of the contest, making it unlikely that he'll be able to return. In his absence, Ja'Sir Taylor is a top candidate to see an increase in workload at cornerback.
Oct 3, 2025
Cleared to play
Still (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Still was limited earlier in the practice week but is good to go as an every-down cornerback for the Chargers. He's seen almost equal action outside and in the slot for Los Angeles and has produced 18 tackles (14 solo) and two pass breakups across four contests.
Oct 1, 2025
Limited by ankle issue
Still (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Still dealt with a calf issue earlier in the season, so the ankle injury is a new one. The 23-year-old cornerback has appeared in all four games to this point and played 100 percent of the defensive snaps in last Sunday's loss to the Giants. He's recorded 18 tackles (14 solo) and two pass breakups this season.
Sep 16, 2025
Productive in win
Still logged nine tackles (seven solo) in the Chargers' win over the Raiders on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Still was questionable heading into the game with a calf injury but ended up having a solid outing nonetheless. He ended up playing all but three defensive snaps for Los Angeles during Monday's victory and finished second on the team in tackles behind Daiyan Henley's 10.
Sep 13, 2025
Set to play Monday
Still (calf) was a full participant at Friday's practice and is on track to play Monday versus the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Still was limited during Thursday's practice but is back to full speed. The 2024 fifth-round pick played nearly every defensive snap in the Week 1 win over the Chiefs, when he recorded three solo tackles. Still can cover the slot and the outside and will be a key part in this divisional matchup versus TE Brock Bowers and WR Jakobi Meyers.
Sep 11, 2025
Limited in practice
Still (calf) was limited in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Still logged 98 percent of the defensive snaps in last Friday's Week 1 win over the Chiefs, recording three tackles. Still split time between outside corner and in the slot against Kansas City and will likely see plenty of Jakobi Meyers on Monday night against Las Vegas if Still is able to play.
Sep 7, 2025
Plays nearly every snap Week 1
Still finished Friday's 27-21 win over the Chiefs with three solo tackles.
ANALYSIS
The 2024 fifth-rounder saw his role steadily increase during his rookie season and ended up starting in 12 of the 14 regular-season games in which he played. That trend continued in Friday's regular-season opener, with Still playing 60 of 61 defensive snaps while also playing five snaps on special teams. Still will be a key piece for the Chargers' secondary alongside fellow defensive backs Cam Hart, Alohi Gilman, Derwin James and Donte Jackson. Next up for the Chargers is an AFC West clash against the Raiders on Monday, Sept. 15 in Las Vegas.

Major role in rookie season
Still played in 14 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 62 tackles (45 solo), including 0.5 sacks, 10 pass defenses (including three interceptions and a pick-six).
ANALYSIS
Still was selected by the Chargers in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. He didn't play in the first three games (one of which was due to a hip injury), but he made his NFL regular-season debut against the Chiefs in Week 4. Not only was he a starter for the Bolts' first-team defense, but he was a designated starter in 12 of the 14 games he played during the regular season. Still's best performance came in Week 13 against the Falcons, when he picked off Kirk Cousins twice, the second of which he returned for a touchdown. With Asante Samuel (shoulder) and Kristian Fulton entering the offseason as unrestricted free agents, Still appears to have the inside track at the starting outside corner role for the 2025 campaign, possibly opposite fellow fifth-round rookie Cam Hart (shoulder).
Dec 10, 2024
Makes six solo tackles in loss
Still recorded six solo tackles in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
The rookie cornerback also played on 75 percent of the defensive snaps, the 10th game in a row in which he's played on at least 69 percent of the defensive snaps. Still has 42 tackles (29 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and eight pass breakups, including three interceptions, on the year.
Dec 2, 2024
Two interceptions in win
Still recorded three tackles (one solo), two interceptions, a defensive touchdown and three passes defensed in Sunday's 17-13 win over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Still had the best game of his young career in Week 13, recording an interception in the second quarter and then a pick-six in the third quarter off Kirk Cousins. The cornerback has now produced 36 total tackles (23 solo), including 0.5 sacks, while also adding three interceptions, a defensive touchdown and eight passes defensed over nine games in 2024.
Sep 11, 2024
Practices in full
Still (hip) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old rookie out of Maryland was unable to suit up for the Chargers' regular-season opener due to a hip injury, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. Expect Still to serve as a depth piece in Los Angeles' secondary ahead of his potential NFL debut against the Panthers in Week 2.
Sep 8, 2024
Not ready to compete
Still (hip) is inactive Sunday against the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Still came into the weekend questionable and ultimately will not be able to suit up Week 1. The Maryland product was selected in the fifth round of the 2024 Draft and will be working toward making his NFL debut next Sunday against the Panthers.
Sep 6, 2024
Could play Week 1
Still (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
The rookie corner out of Maryland has been dealing with a hip issue as of late, but it appears he still has a chance to suit up Sunday. He was also able to practice in full on Friday, which is a positive sign for his Week 1 availability. If Still is unable to go, expect Cam Hart and Deane Leonard to see additional snaps in the Chargers' secondary.
