The San Diego Chargers are preparing to play the New England Patriots on Sunday night as the news and rumors ramp up.
Check out the latest buzz below.
Fluker, Watt Questionable
The Chargers offensive line could get a boost with the return of right tackle D.J. Fluker and/or center Chris Watt.
Watt suffered a calf strain. If he does start, it would enable the Chargers to start their fifth different center--Trevor Robinson--this season.
Fluker suffered a concussion in practice on Wednesday.
Both players practiced on Friday.
They’re both listed as questionable.
“You hate when you lose Nick,” offensive line coach Joe D'Alessandris told U-T San Diego.
“You hate when you lose Richard. You hate when you lose Doug. You hate when you lose Chris. But you’re encouraged to see the opportunity that’s presented to the next man, and he says, ‘You know what? I can do this, too.’”
D'Alessandris said that Watt and the other fill-ins have earned Philip Rivers’ trust, and have learned the offense well.
