SAN DIEGO (AP) -Politics will have to wait for offensive tackle Jon Runyan, who has practiced for the first time with his new team, the San Diego Chargers.
Runyan was signed on Tuesday after the Chargers placed right tackle Jeromey Clary on injured reserve with an ankle injury.
Runyan will put on hold his plans to challenge Democratic Rep. John Adler in New Jersey’s 3rd District. His new job is to learn San Diego’s playbook.
Coach Norv Turner said Wednesday that the team will try to get Runyan up to speed as quickly as possible and decide later this week if he’ll be able to play in Sunday’s home game against Kansas City.
Runyan hasn’t played since the end of last season. He wasn’t re-signed by Philadelphia after having surgery on his right knee.
