Horvath (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
What it means:
Despite the trio of limited practices Horvath put forth earlier this week, he'll ultimately miss a second consecutive matchup Sunday due to the high-ankle sprain he sustained back in Week 16. Donald Parham and Tre' McKitty could be in store for additional blocking opportunities as long as Horvath remains sidelined.
Horvath (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Broncos.
What it means:
Horvath sustained a high-ankle sprain during the Week 16 win over Indianapolis, which left him sidelined for last Sunday's victory versus the Rams. The rookie fullback remained limited during each practice Week 18, though he'll still have a chance to suit up before the Chargers' impending playoff berth. Expect Horvath to maintain role on offense while serving as a core special-teamer when available again.
Horvath (ankle) is inactive Sunday against the Rams.
What it means:
Horvath has still not recovered enough to play, after he suffering a sprained ankle in Monday's win over the Colts. Although his participation on offense is fairly limited, his absence will leave the team without their only fullback and a regular special-teams contributor.
Horvath (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams.
What it means:
Horvath suffered a sprained ankle in Monday's win over the Colts. He practiced in limited fashion throughout the week, suggesting he has a decent chance to play. However, his status won't become official until shortly before the Chargers' 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff against the Rams.
Chargers coach Brandon Staley indicated Tuesday that Horvath suffered an ankle sprain in Monday's win over Indianapolis, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
What it means:
Horvath logged four offensive snaps and seven special-teams snaps in the victory, and he presumably hurt his ankle on one of those 11 plays. The fullback hasn't recorded a carry since Week 11, as he primarily works as a blocker while on offense in addition to being a big part of the Chargers' special-teams unit. His status for Week 17's matchup with the Rams will gain clarity through his participation (or lack of it) in practice this week.
Horvath played seven of the Chargers' 66 snaps on offense and went without a carry or target in Sunday's 25-24 win over the Cardinals.
What it means:
Since scoring touchdowns in both of his first two NFL games in Week 1 and 2, Horvath hasn't found the end zone and has barely been deployed as a runner or pass catcher. Though he's been active for each of the Chargers' subsequent nine contests, he's played single-digit snaps in all but one of those games and has carried three times for six yards while recording two catches for one yard on four targets over that span.
