COSTA MESA, Calif. -- It began as a reported disagreement between Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn and veteran players Antonio Gates and Philip Rivers over traveling to Canton, Ohio, to witness former teammate LaDainian Tomlinson's Hall of Fame induction speech.
After talking with Lynn, Gates chose to attend while Rivers stayed with the rest of his teammates, participating in a joint practice with the Los Angeles Rams at the StubHub Center.
After the scrimmage, Rivers was given the day off away from practice and the team’s training camp facility to spend time with family in San Diego.
