Everett (chest) is taking part in practice Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Everett missed the Chargers' Week 11 loss to the Packers due to a chest injury he suffered in the previous game, but he's back on the practice field as Los Angeles begins preparations for its matchup with Baltimore on Sunday. The extent of Everett's participation won't be clarified until practice concludes, but the tight end looks to be trending in a positive direction after he was unable to practice in any fashion a week earlier.

Everett (chest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
Everett has battled myriad injuries throughout the season, and the latest is a chest injury that he picked up in the Week 10 loss to Detroit. The issue will keep the tight end off the field this Sunday, which should lead to more playing time for Donald Parham. Everett's next chance to suit up will come Week 12 against the Ravens.

Everett remained sidelined at practice Thursday due to chest injury, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Everett left the Chargers' Week 10 loss to the Lions early due to a back injury and was listed as a non-participant Wednesday on the team's first Week 11 practice report with the same issue, but the team has since updated the nature of his injury. in any case, two straight absences to begin Week 11 prep cloud the tight end's availability for Sunday's game against the Packers. He'll need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid taking an injury designation into Sunday.

Everett (back) didn't practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Chargers consider Everett day-to-day following his early exit from Sunday's 41-38 loss to the Lions. If he isn't available Sunday at Green Bay, the Chargers likely will turn to some combination of Donald Parham (hip, DNP), Stone Smartt and Nick Vannett in a committee at tight end.

Coach Brandon Staley said Monday that Everett (back) is day-to-day, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Everett departed Sunday's game against the Lions early in the second half due to a back injury and was unable to return, finishing Week 10 with no catches on two targets. Outside of two touchdown grabs in eight appearances this season, he's been contained to 21 receptions (on 27 targets) for 167 yards. Wednesday's practice report may set the stage for Everett's potential to play Sunday, Nov. 19 at Green Bay.

Everett (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Everett failed to catch either of his two targets before getting hurt. The veteran tight end has battled various injuries throughout the season, and the severity of this latest one has yet to be determined.

Everett caught both of his targets for 18 yards in the 27-6 win over the Jets on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Everett certainly looked spry after missing the previous week with a hip injury, rumbling forward on a broken checkdown pass for 17 yards in the first half. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the Jets offense hardly put up a fight, and the team attempted its second-fewest pass attempts (30) of the 2023 campaign, relegating Everett to an afterthought in this one.

Everett (hip) practiced fully Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Everett was held out of this past Sunday night's win over the Bears, but the tight end's full participation in Thursday's practice sets the stage for him to rejoin the Chargers' lineup Monday night against the Jets. Through six games, Everett has put up a 19-149-2 line on 23 targets, a pace that limits his fantasy utility to deeper formats, though it's worth noting that the 2017 second-rounder has found the end zone in each of his last two outings.

Everett (hip) was present for practice Thursday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Everett was inactive for this past Sunday night's win over the Bears, but the tight end's presence at Thursday's practice suggests that he has a chance to return to action Monday night against the Jets. The Chargers' first injury report of the week will reveal Everett's official participation level.

Everett (hip) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Despite practicing fully Friday, Everett came down to a game-time decision and has ultimately been ruled out. In Everett's absence, additional opportunities at tight end should be available for Donald Parham, with Stone Smartt and Tre' McKitty possibly sliding into larger roles as well. Everett's next chance to play will come on MNF against the Jets in Week 9.
