Lambert-Smith’s Battle for a Spot | Los Angeles Chargers News

KeAndre Lambert-Smith’s rookie season was a quiet one, but his potential is undeniable. With just five catches and one TD, he battled for snaps in a crowded receiver room — while others like Tre’ Harris shone, Lambert-Smith sat mostly on the bench. Now, with a new coaching staff and an offense built around tight ends, his path to the field is even steeper. Derius Davis has locked down return duties, leaving Lambert-Smith fighting for the final receiver spot. But flashes from last preseason — four catches for 109 yards and a TD — prove he still has elite speed and playmaking ability. The key? A breakout performance in the August 13th preseason game against the Texans. This isn’t just about staying on the roster — it’s about proving he belongs in Mike McDaniel’s system and can still be a weapon for the Chargers.
