The Chargers have designated safety Adrian Phillips for return from injured reserve, per the league’s transaction log.
Phillips was placed on the IR on Sept. 17 after sustaining a broken forearm against the Detroit Lions.
He will have a three-week window to practice before the team must make the decision to activate him to the 53-man roster. If Los Angeles does not activate him within 21 days, he will not be eligible to play this season.
Phillips, along with his teammate Derwin James are the two players that’ll likely return. They have both been doing speed and agility drills in hopes of making a return as soon as Week 13, which is right after the team’s bye week.
Their presence will be a boost to a defense that needs reinforcements if they look to win the remaining games on their schedule, which would most likely be enough to clinch a playoff berth.
