Leonard (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on the Chargers' injury report Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard has logged back-to-back DNPs this week due to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 6 against the Broncos. He's at risk of missing his second regular-season game unless he's able to practice in at least a limited capacity Saturday. Leonard has primarily operated on special teams and has logged four tackles (three solo) and one pass breakup across four regular-season games.

Leonard (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard suited up in Week 6 despite his questionable designation due to the same injury, but ultimately it appears he wasn't healthy enough to play. The 24-year-old will try to return in Week 7 against the Cardinals.

Leonard (hamstring) has exited Sunday's game against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard was questionable for Sunday's game with the same injury, but ultimately suited up. However, it appears the Ole Miss product aggravated the injury and is now questionable to return.

Leonard (hamstring) is active Sunday against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard hasn't played since Week 3, but he'll get back on the field for Week 6. The Ole Miss product typically doesn't see much action on defense, but with Ja'Sir Taylor (leg) out, he could have a path to seeing an uptick in work.

Leonard (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard hasn't played since Week 3, but he could finally see his return as the Chargers travel to Denver. The 6-foot cornerback likely won't play much defense if he's active, as he's served most of his field time on special teams when he's been healthy this year.

Leonard (hamstring) was listed as a DNP for Wednesday's practice report.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard was unable to play in Week 4 against the Chiefs due to a hamstring injury. Despite Los Angeles coming off a bye, it appears the 2022 seventh-round pick is still working through the injury. He'll have two more chances to practice in some capacity ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Leonard (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard popped up on the Chargers' injury report Friday with a hamstring issue, and the injury appears severe enough for him not to play Sunday. With nickel corner Ja'Sir Taylor (leg) also not playing, Tarheeb Still and Cam Hart will see more snaps at corner behind starters Kristian Fulton and Asante Samuel.

Leonard (heel) is active Sunday against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard will return after a three-game absence, which should be a boost to the Chargers' secondary. He'll likely get the nod as the team's predominant corner opposite Asante Samuel against Denver.

Leonard (heel) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard has missed the Chargers' last three games with this heel issue, but after a week of limited practice sessions, he has a shot at suiting up Sunday. If the second-year corner were to miss his fourth game in a row in Week 17, both Ja'Sir Taylor and Essang Bassey would likely see increased opportunities in Los Angeles' secondary.

Leonard (heel) was considered a limited participant at the Chargers' practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard missed Saturday's 24-22 loss to the Bills due to what was considered an ankle injury, which now appears to be classified as a heel issue to open Week 17. The cornerback will look to increase his workload at practice before the end of the week in order to return to the field Sunday versus the Broncos.
