Los Angeles enters its AFC Wild Card battle versus Houston as the favorite, but complacency is not an option. The Chargers have worked hard to take definite strides this season, and now comes the chance to prove that they are immune to the big-game curse that has plagued so many other iterations of this franchise.

The Los Angeles Chargers have brought a pair of players off of injured reserve and elevated two others from the practice squad.

The Chargers decided not to move Elliott up, instead promoting Jaret Patterson for the Wild Card game against the Texans. Elliott spent the 2023 season with the New England Patriots in a reserve role and then came back to the Cowboys, the team that drafted him at No. 4 overall in 2016.
