The San Diego Chargers will line up in “12” personnel often in 2016, and that fact became more apparent with the recent injury to slot receiver Stevie Johnson.
Though a timetable for Johnson’s return to the field has yet to be established, it would be surprising if he doesn’t miss an extended amount of time.
As a result, the Chargers will use the aforementioned 12 personnel, perhaps even more than the team originally planned. 12 personnel, sometimes called the Ace formation, means that the team lines up with one running back, two tight ends and two wide receivers.
