SAN DIEGO -- San Diego Chargers players and coaches say they aren't distracted by increasing chatter that the team will relocate to Los Angeles.
Ron Rivera wonders otherwise.
Rivera, the coach of the Carolina Panthers, knows all about the Chargers' long, bruising stadium saga because he was on San Diego's staff from 2007-10.
During a conference call with San Diego reporters Wednesday, Rivera was asked about some of the problems encountered this year by the Chargers (5-7), who visit the defending NFC champion Panthers (4-8) on Sunday.
Rivera mentioned injuries, and then segued into the possible relocation.
