These seven Chargers won't be participating in today's game against the Detroit Lions.
OLB Jerry Attaochu
OLB Tourek Williams
OG Johnnie Troutman
We've known for quite some time that neither Williams nor Troutman would be ready to go to start the season. Attaochu being out is a bit of a surprise (relatively speaking), though, and his absence means the Chargers will only have three active outside linebackers available. Craig Mager was never going to be ready to start an NFL game week 1, so his inactivity isn't going to raise any eyebrows. Donald Brown, one of the most expensive running backs in the National Football League, being out to start the season is a shock, but it's a good one.
