The Chargers have managed to stay relatively throughout the course of the past few weeks, but there still have been some key players dinged up.
Among the notables are free safety Nasir Adderley, cornerback Trevor Williams and wide receiver Keenan Allen.
Adderley has been out for the majority of training camp with a hamstring issue. Coach Anthony Lynn said last week that he had been dealing with some soreness, but the duration of the rookie’s absence has drawn some concerns.
Per The Athletic’s Daniel Popper, coach Anthony Lynn does not want to put a timetable on Adderley. “You have to be patient with those soft-tissue injuries. But I would like to see him out here because training camp is very valuable,” Lynn said.
Lynn was asked if he will play in the preseason and he responded by saying, “If he’s ready.”
Williams, who landed on the injured reserve in 2018 due to a knee injury, hasn’t practiced since before the preseason opener. It was uncertain whether or not it was injury related, and Lynn confirmed that it is.
Lynn said Williams’ injury — which he originally called minor — has carried on longer than he expected it would. No timetable has been set on Williams’ return.
Williams entered training camp in contention for the No. 2 cornerback spot with Michael Davis, but his absence only benefits Davis.
Allen is likely going to miss the rest of the preseason after suffering an injury during practice this week, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. He injured his ankle, and although it doesn’t appear to be serious, Allen is going to have to have to wait until Sept. 8 to make his 2019 debut.
