We now finally have a diagnosis for what has Dylan Cantrell sidelined right now. That
is a painful injury. Last summer I partially tore my ACL and wound up with some
severe bone bruising as well. It is very painful and takes a long time to heal.
Whats worse

means after the bone bruise is healed, he’ll need time to get back in shape. He
is lucky though that there wasn’t an accompanying torn ligament of any kind.
Given the length of time he might be out, there is a concern he may have to go
on the IR. Cantrell was just starting to put things together and look good in
camp. It’s unfortunate for the Chargers to have lost him, for now, but the team
dodged a bullet with it just being a bone bruise

Chargers’ kicker competition? The Los Angeles Chargers have had a kicking
problem for a while. It has gotten worse the last two seasons resulting in a
head to head kicking battle in training camp this year between veteran kicker
Caleb Sturgis, and already crowned “draft bust” Roberto Aguayo. This battle
seems to have been pretty back and forth so far. 2 weeks ago Aguayo was winning
the competition in practice, converting more of his attempts than Sturgis. Then
the first preseason game happened and Sturgis missed a 41 yard FG attempt. Which
brings us to this week and Sturgis converted all 7 of his attempts in practice
yesterday (all the way out to 54 yards) while Aguayo took a step back and only
converted 4 of 7 attempts. In Sturgis’ defense, he has apparently been dealing
with some leg soreness, although the team is now saying he is good to go. Aguayo
is slated to be the kicker in the second preseason game this Saturday so we will
see how he does in a game situation, if the team is able to give him some
opportunities to attempt some kicks. This will be important because head coach
Anthony Lynn confirmed yesterday he values game kicking performance over
practice kicking. Which makes sense. However
Los Angeles Chargers Hats , Lynn also said something that makes much less sense.“Is there a possibility of carrying two kickers?” Lynn - “Thats a
possibility as well. No doubt”“As in two kickers on the active roster, not one
on the practice squad?”Lynn - “I’ve had two kickers before”“How would that
work?”Lynn - “Well you’re gonna take a hit somewhere else so you better be deep
at another position”I am not a fan of even considering carrying two kickers
right now. First of all, I don’t think the Chargers are deep enough at any
position to “take a hit” there. They’d never do it, but to me the most viable
option there would be to just carry Philip Rivers on the active roster because,
let’s be honest here, if Rivers goes down
Los Angeles Chargers Womens Hoodie , thats a wrap. Second of all, what does carrying two questionable kickers solve? The only scenario that makes sense for
carrying two kickers is the one like Lynn described where you have a reliable,
accurate field goal kicker, and a kick off specialist. Hopefully over the next
three preseason games, one of these two kickers really stands out and makes this
an easy decision. If it continues to be back and forth, Lynn might be tempted to
keep both guys
