Hand recorded two tackles (one solo) and an interception during Monday's 22-19 win versus the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

Hand fooled quarterback Jalen Hurts by dropping back from the line of scrimmage into coverage in the middle of the second quarter, and the short pass ended up being thrown straight to him. The ball was punched out of his hands on the return and subsequently recovered by Hurts, who then coughed it up for linebacker Troy Dye to recover. Hand will be looking to cause more chaos in a Week 15 matchup against a pass-dependent Kansas City offense.

Hand (illness) was a full participant in Friday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Hand missed Thursday's session due to an illness, but the defensive end's immune system seems to have fought back enough for him to immediately upgrade to a full participant Friday. The quick return to total participation means that the starter is likely good to go for Monday's contest with the Eagles, and he will have one more practice to exhibit his health before the game.

Hand (illness) didn't practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old likely needs to upgrade to at least a limited practice Friday or Saturday in order to play in the Week 14 matchup against the Eagles on Monday night. If Hand is unable to go, Naquan Jones is likely to have an expanded role on the Chargers' defensive line.

Hand (groin) is active for the Chargers' game versus the Steelers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Hand spent the past four weeks on injured reserve but is now set to make his return to the field. The 29-year-old should resume his role as one of the team's starting defensive ends during Sunday's matchup.

The Chargers activated Hand (groin) from injured reserve Saturday, but he is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Hand opened the week with back-to-back limited practices before logging a full session Friday. He hasn't been officially cleared to return from a four-game absence Sunday, but his activation from IR indicates that he will play against Pittsburgh. Hand's return would result in less snaps at defensive end to go around for Justin Eboigbe and Scott Matlock.

The Chargers designated Hand (groin) for return to practice from their injured reserve list Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hand has spent the last four games on injured reserve with a groin injury he suffered in Week 5 versus the Commanders, but it now seems like he's trending toward playing soon. His activity at practice during the week will be worth keeping an eye on ahead of Sunday's game versus the Steelers.

The Chargers placed Hand (groin) on injured reserve Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Hand suffered a groin injury during the Chargers' Week 5 loss to the Commanders. He was unable to practice this past week, and the injury is severe enough for the 2018 fourth-rounder to go on injured reserve. Hand will be required to miss at least the next four games, making Week 10 against the Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 9 the earliest he can return. Justin Eboigbe, Naquan Jones and Otito Ogbonnia should all see additional work at defensive end while Hand is on IR.

Hand (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

Hand will be sidelined by the injury he suffered in the Week 5 loss to Washington. Scott Matlock (ankle) would be in line for additional action in Hand's absence if Matlock suits up. Hand's next chance to play will come against the Colts in Week 7.

Hand (groin) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hand went to the locker room in the first half after sustaining a groin injury, and further tests have determined that the injury is severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of Sunday's contest. Scott Matlock will continue to see additional snaps at defensive end with Hand done for the day.

Hand is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders due to a groin injury.

EDGE Analysis

Hand went to the locker room in the first half after sustaining a groin injury on defense, and he will be evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. With Naquan Jones (coach's decision) inactive, Scott Matlock should see a significant increase in snaps at defensive end opposite Otito Ogbonnia for as long as Hand is out of the game.
