Training camp hasn’t officially begun and the Chargers have lost a key player to what’s feared to be a season-ending injury.
Cornerback Jason Verrett, who has been plagued with knee injuries the past two seasons, suffered an injury — possibly a torn Achilles tendon — during conditioning drills Friday.
Verrett, a former first-round pick and Pro Bowler, has had two knee operations that forced him to miss almost all of last season and most of the 2016 campaign. He participated in the team’s offseason program this summer and was set to bolster an already strong secondary in 2018.
