When will Chargers name starting left guard? Jim Harbaugh sounds off
See the exact timeline Jim Harbaugh and Mike McDaniel are using to finalize the Chargers' new-look offensive line.
The San Diego Chargers are set to determine their starting left guard during the third week of August, with head coach Jim Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel emphasizing that the decision will not be rushed. The coaching staff has intentionally slowed the evaluation process, allowing for a wide-open competition that will only be truly decided after evaluating players during live-action, padded practices.
So far, five linemen have cycled through the first-team offense during the first four days of camp, including free-agent addition Kayode Awosika, rookie Jake Slaughter, Trevor Penning, Trey Pipkins, and Branson Taylor. The staff aims to lock down a reliable protector for quarterback Justin Herbert well before Week 1, stretching the competition through joint practices and preseason action.
