Playing a limited role, Rochell was able to record a sack in a 30-10 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Rochell remains a situational pass rusher within the confines of Los Angeles' defensive scheme. Because of his low usage rate, the 24-year-old remains largely an afterthought in IDP formats. That said, moving forward, if he continues finding his way to opposing quarterbacks, the Chargers will have no choice but to put more on Rochell's plate.

Rochell (concussion) is active for Sunday's clash against the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

Rochell had been questionable for this game after suffering a concussion in Week 1's win over the Colts but has made a full recovery. He's expected to fill in as a depth defensive end for the game and could see some snaps considering he's one of three active players at the position for the game.

Rochell (concussion) did not practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rochell appears to have sustained a concussion during Los Angeles' season-opening win over Indianapolis. He'll need to fully clear the league's protocol for head injuries before retaking the field.

Rochell practiced in full Thursday after dealing with a ribs injury in the preseason.

EDGE Analysis

Rochell was injured during Week 4 of the preseason, but looks to be back to full health ahead of the Chargers' season opener against the Colts. He will provide depth to Joey Rosa at defensive end.

Rochell suffered an unspecified injury during Thursday's preseason game against the 49ers, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The severity of Rochell's injury is unclear at this time, but he's likely headed for further testing.

The Chargers re-signed Rochell on Friday, freelance NFL writer Howard Balzer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rochell suited up for three games in San Diego during his rookie season, before earning a regular role with the club last year. He ended up appearing in all 16 games, including three starts, and accumulated 29 tackles (18 solo), five sacks, and one interception. He currently projects to provide depth behind Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram on the edge in 2019.

Rochell accumulated two tackles and 1.5 sacks during Sunday's 20-6 win over the Raiders.

EDGE Analysis

With Joey Bosa (foot) sidelined, Rochell has managed to rack up 4.5 sacks as his replacement. Bosa is expected to return at some point in the coming weeks, and that could drastically cut into Rochell's playing time.

Rochell should be in line for an increased role with Joey Bosa (foot) ruled out for Sunday's game at Buffalo, Jack Wang of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rochell earned the start in the season opener, recording four tackles (two solo) while playing 51 of 56 defensive snaps. Coach Anthony Lynn said Bosa will "probably be gone for the next couple weeks," keeping the window open for Rochell. It looks as though the 23-year-old will continue to play a heavy role in the Chargers defensive line rotation while Bosa is sidelined.

Rochell will start against the Chiefs on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

With Joey Bosa (foot) inactive, Rochell will serve as the Chargers' starting left defensive end. If the 23-year-old shows well in Sunday's season opener, he stands to earn an increased rotational role going forward.

Rochell could be in position to earn a spot in the defensive line rotation, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rochell has been perhaps the biggest Chargers riser throughout the offseason, as it's been difficult to find anything but glowing opinions of the 23-year-old. With Corey Liuget (suspension) out for the first four weeks of the regular season , Rochell is expected to compete with Darius Philon and Damion Square for additional snaps along the defensive line, whether that be at nose tackle or defensive end.
