Unfortunately, the offensive line is now starting to get banged up. What else is new?
Left guard Orlando Franklin, who did not practice on Thursday, was back on the field on Friday, so that’s a good sign. Right tackle Joseph Barksdale was a limited participant in Wednesday’s and Thursday’s practice, but he is not practicing with the team on Friday. If he misses Sunday’s game, swing tackle Chris Hairston could start, or the Chargers could move D.J. Fluker to tackle, a position he knows well, and put Spencer Pulley at right guard (that, of course, is if Franklin suits up).
