COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Nick Novak says he’ll be ready to go this week. But just in case that doesn’t happen, Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said he’ll bring in kickers for tryouts on Tuesday.
Last month after Novak suffered an ankle injury covering kicks against the Denver Broncos, the Chargers brought in Younghoe Koo, Andrew Franks and Jason Myers for a tryout, but stayed with Novak.
Novak was on the injury report with a back injury going into last week’s game, and said he made the injury worse during warm-ups for the Bolts’ Thanksgiving Day win over the Dallas Cowboys.
