Los Angeles Chargers: Injury Bug Bites Again

If there’s been a team in the NFL more snakebitten by injuries in recent years than the Los Angeles Chargers, then the Bolts are a close second. The team seemingly can’t even get to Week 1 without losing several starters to significant injuries.

Head coach Anthony Lynn might want to consider an exorcism, because it’s already happening again in 2018.

First, as the Los Angeles Times’ Mike DiGiovanna reported, tight end Hunter Henry suffered a torn ACL that likely ended his 2018 season. Quarterback Philip Rivers did his best to downplay the loss of the team’s best player at the position.cheap nfl jerseys from usa

“We’ve got a deep group of receivers—does that mean there’s more times when we’re in a three-receiver set or even four receivers? I don’t know,” Rivers said. “I’m not giving away any secrets, but those are all thoughts that you have.”authentic nfl cheap jerseys

The problem is that receivers group isn’t so deep right now. Per ESPN.com’s Eric Williams, wideout Mike Williams has been sidelined as well at OTAs with a hamstring injury.

Usually, a pulled hammy wouldn’t be big cause for concern. But Williams missed most off his first offseason and six games of his rookie year in 2017 after hurting his knee in camp. He finished the year with all of 11 catches for 95 yards.authentic nfl jersey wholesale

Last year, the Rams had all sorts of troubles moving the football offensively. They managed a measly 29.9 points per game, which is 32nd in the NFL if you count backward.

Kidding aside, the Rams offense was a buzzsaw last year, peeling off chunk plays with ease. And if OTAs were any indication, that offense may be better in 2018.

As Myles Simmons reported for the Rams website, wide receiver Cooper Kupp indicated that with a year of running Sean McVay’s offense under their belts, the team’s expectations are sky-high on that side of the ball this season.

“I think having come back, having run this offense before, and a lot of the same guys are around, a lot of guys that were here this offseason being able to just be together on our own and go through this stuff,” Kupp said.difference in nike nfl jerseys

“Our expectations are high and so it’s great to be able to look good out here right now but, when we go back in the meeting room and we’re watching film there is a lot of stuff to correct, a lot of stuff that isn’t up to our standards. So, just continuing to correct that throughout the OTAs is going to be huge for us.”where to buy nfl jerseys in store

Jared Goff is coming off a breakout season. So is reigning NFL OPOY Todd Gurley. And the Rams added a new No. 1 receiver in Brandin Cooks to pair with Kupp and Robert Woods.
