The Los Angeles Chargers' inside linebacker depth chart is undergoing evaluation following the trade of Daiyan Henley. The move, analyzed in a recent SB Nation column, prompts questions about the team's defensive alignment heading into the latter part of the 2026 NFL season.
Henley, wearing number 0, was photographed taking the field at SoFi Stadium on November 8, 2026, before a game against the Houston Texans. His departure leaves a vacancy in the linebacker rotation that the coaching staff must address through internal promotions or free-agent signings.
The analysis, published on November 11, 2026, examines potential replacements and scheme adjustments as the Chargers navigate the remainder of their schedule.
