Tuesday usually is an off-day for NFL players, a day when soreness from Sunday remains prominent. Bodies ache. New bruises are discovered. Rolling out of bed alone can be an undertaking.
With a Thursday game, the Chargers practiced Tuesday instead of resting.
“I’m probably the happiest one,” Drew Kaser said of the short week.
The Chargers will return to action Thursday evening, hosting the Broncos at Qualcomm Stadium. Kaser is eager to put what transpired Sunday behind him. The team has expressed continued confidence in him as a punter but pulled him from his holder duties on field goals and extra points following Sunday’s 34-31 loss to the Raiders.
