Sweat poured off Chargers cornerback Craig Mager, beading on his shaved head and falling off his beard.
The weather in Costa Mesa wasn’t responsible for the perspiration; it was the result of a post-practice session that had Mager working on technique while sprinting in and out of drills.
“I’m from Texas, you know,” Mager said. “It’s kind of weird that I’m out here sweating in California. It makes me a little saucy, but it’s all good.”
If Mager wasn’t sweating from the extra work, the axe hanging over nearly half the current Chargers roster might’ve caused it.
