COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers edge rusher Uchenna Nwosu is in a heated battle on the practice field. He arrives early, stays late and is working as hard and smart as he can. The player he's battling, Kyler Fackrell, is doing the same.
Who wins the starting spot will be settled either by Sept. 12, when the Chargers go on the road to face the Washington Football Team (1 p.m. ET, CBS). Or before.
It's not a position neither Nwosu nor Fackrell find comfortable. Both will see considerable playing time, but who the heck starts?
