2024
editUnder new Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman, Matlock became a two-way player during the 2024 NFL off-season and began playing fullback on offense while continuing to play defensive end on defense. Roman had previously used a defensive lineman/fullback hybrid during his tenure as the offensive coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens with Ravens player Patrick Ricard. Matlock previously had experience as a two-way player at the collegiate level, where he occasionally played tight end in addition to his primary position of defensive end at Boise State.[6] In Matlock's first regular season game as a two-way player, he played 18 offensive snaps, 16 defensive snaps, and 14 special teams snaps in a 22-10 win against the Las Vegas Raiders during Week 1 of the 2024 NFL Season. Matlock recorded a tackle and his first career pass deflection the following week against the Carolina Panthers as the Chargers won 26-3. Matlock recorded his first career reception for seven yards in a Week 4 loss against the Kansas City Chiefs. In Week 8, Matlock recorded his first career sack against the New Orleans Saints, along with one tackle and one reception for nine yards in a 26-8 win for the Chargers.
