Chargers Left Guard Battle Continues | Los Angeles Chargers News

The Chargers are taking their time picking a starting left guard, with head coach Jim Harbaugh saying the decision won’t come until late August after more padded practices. Offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel insists the competition is wide open — true talent only emerges when players hit in full gear. Though free agent Kayode Awosika got early first-team reps, coaches have rotated five different linemen — including rookie Jake Slaughter — to keep things fluid. While fans want to see Slaughter take over, the staff is focused on patience and preparation, ensuring they’ve got a reliable blocker for Justin Herbert before the season starts.
