The Los Angeles Chargers designated DJ Chark for return from injured reserve, opening the wide receiver's 21-day practice window.

Chark was back at practice Wednesday after missing the team's first five games with a hip injury.

Chark signed a one-year contract worth $3 million with the Chargers in May. The Chargers signed Chark as a free agent after losing veterans Keenan Allen (Chicago Bears) and Mike Williams (New York Jets) in free agency.

Chark, 28, caught 35 passes for 525 yards and five touchdowns in 15 games (11 starts) last season with the Carolina Panthers.

He has 212 receptions for 3,069 yards and 23 scores in 69 games (51 starts) with the Panthers, Detroit Lions (2022) and Jacksonville Jaguars (2018-21), who drafted the 2019 Pro Bowl selection in the second round in 2018.

It's unclear if Chark will be activated for the Chargers' (3-2) game against the Arizona Cardinals (2-4) on Monday night.
