Let’s not waste time: The Chargers just got back their Pro-Bowl left tackle Russell Okung, and have placed wide receiver Travis Benjamin on injured reserve.
First up, the return of Okung. It’s fantastic. The team was projected to be without him for much longer, but his return in Week 7 is way faster than expected. And it couldn’t come at a better time, as the Chargers travel to play the Chicago Bears the following week.
Ian Rapoport states the left tackle could play as early this week, with Okung himself confirming he’ll be back.
