SAN DIEGO (AP) -The San Diego Chargers are at less than full strength heading to their exhibition opener against the Chicago Bears on Saturday night.
Outside linebacker Shawne Merriman, wide receiver Vincent Jackson and left tackle Marcus McNeill are holding out.
Among those possibly not playing Saturday due to injury are left tackle Tra Thomas (knee), running back Darren Sproles (shoulder) and linebacker Larry English (foot). English, a first-round draft pick last year, has been getting increased reps with Merriman out, but he likely won’t go Saturday.
Coach Norv Turner sounds as if he will play it safe with some players, saying there’s a long way to go before the regular season.
