Eric Tomlinson is positioned as a potential option for the Chargers to be temporarily elevated for game days or signed to the 53-man roster, especially given the team's tight end depth issues following Hayden Hurst's injury.

Eric Tomlinson was released by the Chargers ahead of Week 10 after struggling for playing time behind Will Dissly and Hayden Hurst. He was previously identified as a potential trade candidate but ultimately remained with the team until this roster move. It is anticipated that he may return to the practice squad as the Chargers look to address other roster needs.

Los Angeles signed tight end Eric Tomlinson to the active roster to take DJ Chark Jr.'s spot on the team. His addition comes as the Chargers prepare for their season opener against the Las Vegas Raiders.
