The Los Angeles Chargers placed wide receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith on Reserve/Injured on September 15, 2026. Alongside this move, the team signed wide receiver Gary Jennings to the active roster and cornerback Isas Waxter to the practice squad.
Gary Jennings entered the NFL as a fourth-round draft pick by the Seattle Seahawks in 2019 and has since spent time with several teams including Miami, Baltimore, Buffalo, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Kansas City, and Carolina. He played four seasons at West Virginia from 2015 to 2018, finishing with 168 receptions for 2,294 yards and 17 touchdowns, and ranked among the program’s leaders in catches, receiving yards, and touchdown receptions in a single season.
Cornerback Isas Waxter joined the Chargers practice squad after spending the 2025 season there. He played five seasons at Villanova, producing 108 tackles, three interceptions, and 19 passes defensed during his collegiate career. Waxter earned second-team All-Colonial Athletic Association honors in 2023.
CSB Take
The Chargers’ move to place KeAndre Lambert-Smith on injured reserve reflects the challenges teams face managing player health early in the NFL season. Adding veteran wide receiver Gary Jennings provides experienced depth at receiver, while recalling cornerback Isas Waxter to the practice squad bolsters defensive options. These transactions demonstrate the Chargers’ intent to maintain roster flexibility and readiness as the season progresses.
