COSTA MESA, Calif. -- The offseason officially begins for the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday, with players participating in strength and conditioning drills led by strength coach John Lott.
We detailed those workouts last year -- including players running bare foot -- and the reasons for them. The change of approach in the team's offseason conditioning program appeared to lead to a reduction in injuries during the regular season.
Monday will be our first chance to see how season-ending injuries to players like Forrest Lamp and Jason Verrett are progressing, along with meeting new players like center Mike Pouncey, tight end Virgil Green and kicker Caleb Sturgis.
