Joshua Palmer

Chargers declared QB Easton Stick, WR Joshua Palmer, RB Kimani Vidal, RB Jaret Patterson, OT Trey Pipkins III, TE Hayden Hurst, and DL Justin Eboigbe inactive for the Wildcard Round against the Texans.

Palmer had been ruled out earlier in the week, leaving the biggest surprise tight end Hayden Hurst. Hurst began the season as the lead tight end before suffering injuries that forced him to miss eight of the team’s final 13 games. Will Dissly took over as the primary tight end in Hurst’s absence and never relinquished the role, backed up by both Tucker Fisk and Stone Smartt.
