The Chargers placed linebacker Nick Niemann on injured reserve as they narrowed their roster to 53 players on Tuesday.
Niemann is currently dealing with a hamstring issue.
Niemann is designated to return at some point this season and could be back as early as Week 5. That is the team’s bye week, so he could return for their Week 6 game against the Broncos.
Also, Los Angeles placed edge rushers Chris Rumph II, Chris Collins and offensive linemen Bucky Williams and Tyler McLellan on season-ending injured reserve.
