Chargers Left Guard Battle Heats Up | Los Angeles Chargers News

Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh dropped a major update on the left guard race, naming Kayode Awosika the current frontrunner for the starting spot after his consistency through OTAs, minicamp, and training camp. But don’t sleep on Trey Pipkins — hailed as one of the top five linemen and a potential starter or swing tackle, he’s splitting reps with Awosika on first team. Trevor Penning is back in the mix after injury, Jake Slaughter is ahead of schedule, and Branson Taylor made a strong debut with first-team reps last week. Harbaugh called the competition a positive for the team, hinting a decision could come within 10 practices as they aim for offensive line continuity before kickoff.
