Anderson reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson played a season-high 25 snaps on special teams Thursday and registered an assisted tackle on a punt return. Since the blowout loss to the Raiders was the third time Anderson has been elevated this season, the Chargers will have to sign him to the active roster if they wish to utilize him again this season.

The Chargers elevated Anderson from the practice squad for Thursday night's game against the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old has appeared in the Chargers' last two games, playing four offensive snaps. With Donald Parham (shoulder) banged up, Anderson could be in line for a little extra work versus Las Vegas.

Anderson reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was called up to the active roster for the second straight game. He played 20 snaps -- 18 on special teams, two on offense -- without recording a stat. Anderson can be called up by the Chargers once more this season before the team would have to sign him to the active roster if they want to continue playing him.

The Chargers elevated Anderson to the active roster Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
This is the second time Anderson has been elevated this season after joining the Chargers' practice squad Nov. 15. His first call-up was Week 13 against the Patriots, when he played 17 snaps (15 on special teams and two on offense). Anderson will likely resume a role on special teams if he plays Sunday against the Bears, as Nick Vannett is returning from a concussion.

The Chargers elevated Anderson to their active roster Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran tight end's elevation is likely in response to Nick Vannett (concussion) being ruled out for Sunday's contest. Anderson's most recent in-game action came in 2022 with the Cardinals, but he also appeared in 34 games for the Chargers from 2019-21.

The Chargers signed Anderson to their practice squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old has yet to appear in a game this season, but Anderson has 78 career games of experience since the 2016 campaign. He spent the 2019-2021 seasons with the Chargers.

Anderson (illness) is absent from the Cardinals' injury report ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson is coming off a one-game absence due to an illness. His absence from the injury report indicates his health is back up to par. Barring any setbacks, he is on track to resume his usual role providing depth at tight end.

Anderson (illness) is out Sunday against the Falcons, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was a late scratch for Week 17 and not on the team's inactive list. In his absence, Maxx Williams may see a slight uptick in snaps.

Anderson recorded two receptions for seven yards in Monday's 27-13 loss to the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Zach Ertz (knee) was sidelined for the third game in a row, but Anderson's pair of receptions Monday were his first receptions since the Cardinals' top tight end suffered his season-ending injury. While Ertz is on the mend, rookie Trey McBride appears poised to dominate the playing time at tight end. Anderson has played 36 snaps on offense in total since Ertz exited the lineup.

Anderson is in line for more usage with Zach Ertz (knee) out indefinitely, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Following Ertz's early exit Sunday at the Rams, Anderson easily earned his largest snap share of the campaign, settling at 37 percent of the offensive plays. Anderson saw his first target since Week 2 and has just one catch (on two targets) for two yards through 10 games this season. As such, Anderson's impact likely will be minimal, especially with rookie second-round pick Trey McBride set to take on most of the pass-catching work at tight end in place of Ertz.
