Offensive tackle Russell Okung, who suffered a groin injury Sunday, will be limited as the Los Angeles Chargers begin their preparation for an AFC West battle against the Oakland Raiders.
Coach Anthony Lynn on Wednesday said Okung will get treatment this week and that he will get limited snaps at practice.
Okung suffered the injury right before the half in which he was chasing a Vikings defender who recovered a fumble and he went down awkwardly reaching for the groin area. He did not return to the game.
The left tackle has battled a groin injury for over a month, so it appears that he may have re-aggravated it.
His status for this weekend’s game will likely be 50-50. If he can’t go, Trent Scott could very well get the start. But it’s possible that the team could let rookie Trey Pipkins, who has been a healthy scratch the past two games, get some playing time.
