OXNARD, Calif. – Another day, another injury to the defensive line. More specifically, defensive end again, as rookie Taco Charlton sat out with tightness. Word around training camp is Charlton was dealing with some minor back issues. He did spend most of Wednesday’s practice in uniform, but he was working on a side field with the associate trainers on the strength cords.
Charlton spoke briefly with the media, but only said “I’m fine” when asked multiple times to describe his injury. He didn’t seem to be held out for long, but clearly it was enough to keep him off to the side.
