COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers left tackle Russell Okung returned to practice on Thursday and did not rule out the possibility of returning to the field as early as Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
"Being sidelined after suffering a pulmonary embolism earlier this year has been an intense battle that I'm thankful to put behind me," Okung wrote in a statement posted to Twitter. "I want to thank [agent] J.I. Halsell who helped me navigate this unique scenario with the Chargers front office. Big thanks as always to the fans who have responded to my health status with care and compassion, looking forward to being back in action.
