Shortly after the release, head coach DeMeco Ryans addressed the situation during a press conference with the media. Ryans kept his answer short, and made it clear that his focus, and the team's focus, is on the upcoming playoff game against the Chiefs.

The NFL playoffs are set to begin in just a few hours as Jim Harbaugh, Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers visit DeMeco Ryans, C.J. Stroud and the Hosuton Texans, who are contractually obligated to be the first postseason team broadcast each year.
