The Chargers should be considering all options with Russell Okung, the team’s starting left tackle, dealing with an undisclosed injury:
Lynn provided no update on LT Russell Okung, who missed this week's minicamp with an undisclosed injury. The Chargers do not know if Okung will be ready for training camp in July.
Apparently, the Chargers are unsure (which really means unwilling to disclose) what the duration of Okung’s absence will be. First they were hopeful the veteran could return by training camp, and now it’s unsure if he will return by then.
The Chargers should only express interest in trading for or signing a left tackle if they feel Okung will be out for an extended period of time.
