COSTA MESA, Calif. – For the last four years, Kellen Clemens has been Philip Rivers ’ wing man.
He shares a 90-minute commute with his fellow veteran quarterback every day from north of San Diego to the team’s headquarters in Orange County. And Clemens also serves as Rivers’ eyes and ears off the field, the two often conferring between series during games about what he sees from the sideline.
But with Rivers self-reporting concussion symptoms on Monday and entering the NFL concussion protocol, Clemens could make his first start since 2013 on Sunday when the Los Angeles Chargers host the Buffalo Bills.
