Los Angeles Chargers offensive tackle Russell Okung is expected to play against the Denver Broncos in Week 13, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
After missing two games with a groin injury, Okung will return to the starting lineup to protect quarterback Philip Rivers’ blindside.
Rivers struggled under pressure in those two contests, so having Okung back out there should be a confidence booster for Rivers.
With Okung coming back, rookie Trey Pipkins will likely go back to the bench.
Right tackle Sam Tevi, who’s missed the last three games with a knee injury, remains an unknown for today’s game. If Tevi can’t play, Trent Scott will resume the starting duties on the right side in place of him.
