Chargers' Charlie Kolar to have surgery on broken forearm

Chargers tight end Charlie Kolar will undergo surgery for a broken forearm, impacting his availability for upcoming games. Head coach Jim Harbaugh announced that Kolar, along with fellow tight end David Njoku, will be placed on injured reserve following injuries sustained during a loss to the Raiders. Kolar has had limited involvement in the offense, recording three receptions for 21 yards across two games. The surgery is expected to allow Kolar to return after the IR period, specifically by Week 8 against the Rams on November 1. In the meantime, the Chargers have added Hayden Rucci to their active roster as Kolar and Njoku recover.
