Ahead of their Week 1 matchup against the Cardinals, the Los Angeles Chargers made a notable depth-chart decision on their inactive list. Genesis Smith was selected to dress and be active for the contest, earning the spot over fellow defensive back R.J. Mickens.

Mickens, who wears jersey number 27 for the team, was consequently designated as inactive for the opening-week showdown.
