Chargers’ Quentin Johnston Hospitalized With Concussion After SoFi Stadium Hit

Precautionary hospital tests will determine Johnston’s status as the Chargers turn to rookies for deep-threat duties.

Overview

  • Head coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed Johnston sustained a concussion following a helmet-to-helmet hit by Rams safety Tanner Ingle.
  • Johnston was motionless on the turf and exhibited a fencing posture before trainers carted him off for further evaluation.
  • He later moved his arms and legs, spoke with doctors on the sideline, and walked under his own power before being taken to a hospital.
  • Rookies KeAndre Lambert-Smith and Tre Harris have received increased first-team snaps as short-term depth in the receiver corps.
  • The team has not provided a recovery timeline and is awaiting test results under the NFL’s concussion protocol.
