Chargers GM Tom Telesco: Injury issues more perception than reality

SAN DIEGO -- The Chargers have the most players on injured reserve than any team through Week 4 of the NFL season, with 15.

San Diego already has lost five impact players for the year in running back Danny Woodhead (knee), receiver Keenan Allen (knee), running back Branden Oliver (Achilles), linebacker Manti Te’o (Achilles) and receiver Stevie Johnson (knee).

And going back to the start of general manager Tom Telesco's and Mike McCoy’s tenure with the Chargers, those injuries issues seem to persist dating back to the 2013 season.
