Leonard (knee) is active for Sunday night's contest against the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard will make his regular-season debut after missing the entirety of the campaign to this point while on injured reserve with a knee injury. He'll slot in as a top reserve option behind Donte Jackson and Cam Hart at cornerback versus Pittsburgh.

The Chargers activated Leonard (knee) off injured reserve Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard has been on injured reserve since August but is now closer to making his return. If the 25-year-old is able to suit up for Sunday's matchup versus the Steelers, he should serve as one of the team's depth cornerbacks.

The Chargers designated Leonard (leg) for return from injured reserve Tuesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The move opens Leonard's 21-day practice window. He's yet to appear in a game this season after being injured during the preseason. Tarheeb Still (knee), Cam Hart, Benjamin St-Juste and Donte Jackson have been handling the bulk of the cornerback duties for Los Angeles through eight weeks.

Leonard (leg) was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard suffered a leg injury in the Chargers' second preseason contest Aug. 10, and he will now be forced to miss at least four contests to open the 2025 season. In his absence, Benjamin St-Juste and Nikko Reed stand to see an increase in reps at cornerback with Los Angeles.

Leonard exited Sunday's preseason game against the Saints with an apparent leg injury and did not return, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard was helped off the field by the Chargers' training staff after playing 21 defensive snaps. He's in the mix to land one of the top reserve jobs in Los Angeles' secondary, as long as his injury isn't severe. Leonard appeared in 10 regular-season contests last season, logging eight tackles (six solo) and three pass breakups.

Leonard (hamstring) is active for Monday's game against the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
After missing the Chargers' last five games due to a hamstring injury, Leonard was activated off injured reserve and will play Monday. The 2022 seventh-round pick has played in just four regular-season games and has logged four tackles (three solo) and one pass defensed.

The Chargers activated Leonard (hamstring) off injured reserve Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The third-year corner from Ole Miss practiced in full all week and has now been added to the Chargers' active roster, suggesting that he'll play in his first game in five weeks on Monday night against the Ravens. Expect Leonard to serve as a depth piece in the Chargers' secondary while also contributing on special teams as the season progresses.

Head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters that Leonard's (hamstring) 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard logged a limited practice session Wednesday following his designation to return from injured reserve, suggesting he could see the field as soon as the Chargers' Week 11 matchup against the Bengals. However, the third-year pro from Ole Miss must still be activated to the Chargers' active roster in order to play Sunday. If Leonard remains out in Week 11, expect Tarheeb Still to continue seeing increased reps with Los Angeles' first-team secondary.

Leonard (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard has dealt with the injury for multiple weeks now and was already ruled out for Monday's game against the Cardinals. His placement on injured reserve will now guarantee he'll miss at least the next four games and will be eligible to return Nov. 17 against the Bengals.

Leonard (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard has not been able to practice this week due to a hamstring injury he sustained in Week 6 against the Broncos. The Chargers enter Monday's game with a banged-up secondary, as Ja'Sir Taylor (leg) and Kristian Fulton (hamstring) are both listed as questionable. Leonard's next chance at suiting up will be Week 8 against the Saints on Oct. 27.
