Everett (hip) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.
EDGE Analysis
Everett has been gauged as a limited participant on both of the Chargers' first two Week 15 practice reports after he played 45 snaps and hauled in five of eight targets for 38 yards in this past Sunday's 24-7 loss to the Broncos. Though he'll be facing a quick turnaround with the Chargers set to face the Raiders on Thursday, Everett will most likely be able to play through the hip issue, provided he doesn't experience any setbacks leading up to the contest. However, Everett will be on the receiving end of passes moving forward from Easton Stick, who is set to make his first career start Thursday after the Chargers placed franchise signal-caller Justin Herbert (finger) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Everett caught five of his eight targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 24-7 loss to the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Everett finished second on the team in targets, trailing only star receiver Keenan Allen, and recorded his third straight game with at least four receptions and 35 or more receiving yards. The 29-year-old continued to receive the bulk of tight-end work with 31 more snaps than Donald Parham and was a safety outlet with four targets from both quarterback Justin Herbert before exiting the outing (toe), and backup Easton Stick who replaced him. The veteran tight end will likely continue to see opportunities with Stick set to start Thursday against Las Vegas.

Everett (hip) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate.
EDGE Analysis
Everett has dealt with myriad injuries this season, and the latest is a hip injury, though this one doesn't seem overly severe based on his limited designation Monday. How much Everett can participate when the team takes the practice field Tuesday should help clarify the tight end's status for Thursday's game in Vegas, which will likely feature backup quarterback Easton Stick under center for the Chargers in place of Justin Herbert (finger). Fellow tight end Donald Parham (shoulder) was also estimated as limited Monday.

Everett snared four of his five targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 6-0 win over the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Everett's 26-yard catch and run in the first quarter was the third-longest reception by either side in a game mucked down by miserable rainy conditions. The veteran has been a reliable safety valve for quarterback Justin Herbert all season, as he has at least three receptions in all but four games to date; however, he's hasn't managed to eclipse 50 yards to this point.

Everett (chest) pulled in all four of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Everett's status for Sunday Night Football was truly questionable due to a chest injury until he was eventually cleared for action on the morning of game day. Fantasy managers rocking the veteran tight end have to be pleased with the way things unfolded, as they were rewarded with the only touchdown reception recorded by a Charger on Sunday. Everett boosted his season receiving line up to 25/211/3 heading into next Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.

Everett (chest) is officially active for Sunday's home game against the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Everett exited early in Week 10 and sat out Week 11, but he's ready to return in Week 12. Donald Parham and Stone Smartt should continue to see playing time alongside Everett, but Everett has been Los Angeles' top pass catcher at tight end when available, with a team-high average of 3.4 targets per game in eight appearances. Baltimore has allowed only one touchdown to a tight end in 2023.

Everett (chest) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Everett, who is officially listed as questionable, appears in line to play Sunday night. The same is true for wideout Jalen Guyton (groin), though Schefter notes both players will need to avoid any pregame setbacks before being cleared. In any case, official word on Everett's availability will come when the Chargers release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Everett (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Everett upgraded to full practice participation Friday and thus seems more likely than not to play. With the Chargers playing the Ravens in the Sunday night game, the lack of clarity regarding Everett's status is still less than ideal for those depending on him in Week 12 lineups. On a positive note, teammate Donald Parham looks like a decent fill-in for Everett if needed, especially with fellow tight end Nick Vannett (concussion) already ruled out. Parham and Stone Smartt took on most of the work at tight end with Everett out for last week's loss to the Packers.

Everett (chest) remained limited at practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Everett was also limited Wednesday, so the tight end may need to log a full session Friday in order to avoid approaching Sunday night's contest against the Ravens with an injury designation. If Everett -- who was sidelined Week 11 -- returns to the mix this weekend, he'll profile as a hit-or-miss fantasy option after having compiled a 21-167-2 line on 27 targets through eight games to date this season.

Everett (chest) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Everett didn't practice at all last week, so his ability to practice Wednesday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- improves the tight end's chances of returning to action Sunday against the Ravens. That said, Everett will need to practice fully by Friday in order to avoid heading into the weekend with an injury designation.
