Who Should I Start? Jalen Reagor or Ben Skowronek

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Jalen Reagor did not participate in the team's Wednesday practice after tweaking "something in his lower half" on Tuesday, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Notably, Popper writes that Reagor had been "playing consistently with the first-team offense as an outside receiver through the first five practices." Reagor played in eight games for the Chargers in 2024, recording just seven receptions for 100 yards. The Chargers appear to be holding an open competition for playing time at wide receiver behind Ladd McConkey. Reagor, Quentin Johnston, and rookies Tre' Harris and Keandre Lambert-Smith should be considered the main contenders. Depending on the severity of this injury, it threatens to derail Reagor's chance to win a starting role.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have agreed to re-sign wide receiver Ben Skowronek to an undisclosed deal. The NFL's Ian Rapoport reported the news. The wideout found his way onto Pittsburgh's roster in mid-September after failing to become a member of the Texans' 53-man squad, but an early-season shoulder injury forced him to injured reserve, and he missed six games. Upon his return in Week 10, Skowronek surpassed 20 snaps in a single contest on just one occasion, totaling five catches and 69 yards in ten appearances. The Notre Dame product will serve as roster padding in the Steelers' WR corps, though he's likely to play a role on special teams. Additionally, Skowronek has experience as a fullback from his time spent with Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams, providing a versatile roster piece for Pittsburgh.
