Smartt (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans.

Smartt practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week after missing the Chargers' Week 9 win over the Browns due to an ankle injury. The 26-year-old is expected to play behind both Will Dissly and Hayden Hurst if he can suit up in Week 10.

Smartt (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Smartt was unable to practice all of last week due to an ankle injury, which caused him to be sidelined for Week 9 against the Browns. He was able to return to practice Wednesday, and he'll have two more chances to increase his participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans.

Smartt (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

No surprise here, as Smartt was deemed doubtful for Sunday's contest. He was unable to practice throughout the week due to an ankle injury. In his absence, Hayden Hurst and Eric Tomlinson will be the backup options at tight end behind Will Dissly.

Smartt (ankle) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

Smartt was unable to practice all week after likely sustaining an ankle injury in the Chargers' Week 8 win over the Saints, so it's no surprise that he's not expected to play Sunday. If the Old Dominion product is unable to suit up, the Chargers' tight end room will likely consist of Will Dissly, Hayden Hurst and Eric Tomlinson.

Smartt (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Smartt failed to record a stat while playing 16 special-teams snaps in the Chargers' Week 8 win over the Saints, but it now appears he picked up an ankle injury in the process. The third-year tight end from Old Dominion will almost certainly need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday to play in Sunday's matchup in Cleveland.

Smartt played seven of the Chargers' 66 snaps on offense and recorded one reception for 31 yards on two targets in Monday's 17-15 loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

After failing to draw a target while playing just nine snaps on offense through the Chargers' first four games of the season, Smartt now has a reception in two straight contests. He's seen a slight uptick in playing time while Hayden Hurst (groin) missed all of Monday's game and most of the Week 6 win over the Broncos due to injury, but Smart could see his snap counts take a hit once the Chargers' tight-end room is back to full strength.

Smartt caught two of his three targets for 14 yards in the 13-12 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Smartt played 294 offensive snaps in 2023 often filling in for Donald Parham as the team's No. 2 tight end when the big-bodied target was injured. The second-year undrafted free agent hasn't done much in the NFL to date, and it's possibly his roster spot could be in jeopardy next season as the Chargers undergo a complete transformation in the front office and as a coaching staff.

Smartt (shoulder) isn't among the Chargers' inactives for Sunday's matchup against Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

A shoulder issue kept Smartt to a pair of limited practice sessions to begin Week 18 prep, but his outlook improved with a full practice Friday. The second-year tight end entered Sunday deemed questionable to suit up, but he's ultimately been cleared to play. Smartt should thus fill his usual role as Gerald Everett's backup against the Chiefs.
