The Chargers acquired Trevor Penning via trade before playing the Steelers to bolster their offensive line, but will he play? HC Jim Harbaugh couldn’t answer that question yesterday, acknowledging they have to figure that out. While they’ve managed to win, the Chargers have weathered some major injuries, including to both of their starting offensive tackles.
Los Angeles lost Rashawn Slater a while ago, but Joe Alt just suffered an injury that landed him on IR. The Chargers added Penning, who can play several positions, but it’s too early to say whether he’ll be ready to suit up against the Steelers.
