Offensive tackle Joe Barksdale adds consistency for Chargers

SAN DIEGO -- Though the San Diego Chargers shuffle players along the offensive line each week, one constant has been offensive tackle Joe Barksdale.

The 27-year-old LSU product is the only offensive lineman for the Chargers who has started all five games this season.

Not bad for a player the team signed during the second wave of free agency to a one-year, $1.1 million deal in May, mainly as depth at offensive tackle.

"He’s done an outstanding job for us, regardless of what side he’s played on," Chargers head coach Mike McCoy said.
