Chargers' Verrett feeling good about return
Jason Verrett (22) celebrates interception against the Rams with teammate Dwight Lowery. (USA Today Sports)Jason Verrett knew he would play only two series in a game that didn’t count, but as the Chargers cornerback prepared to take the Coliseum field against the Rams on Saturday night, his emotions caught him by surprise.
“Man, I almost got a little teary-eyed during the national anthem,” Verrett said after the Chargers’ 21-19 preseason victory. “I’ve been away from the game for so long … it just felt good to be out there.”
Verrett, 26, was a first-round pick out of Texas Christian in 2014 but missed 10 games as a rookie because of shoulder and hamstring injuries.
