The team decided to release veteran tackle Joe Barksdale on Monday, a player who has been a healthy scratch in recent weeks and missed Sunday’s game due to personal reasons. That leaves Sam Tevi as the starting right tackle.
Tevi hasn’t been terrible, but the Chargers have turned to him because they have to.
It’s time for last year’s second-round pick, Forrest Lamp, to step up. The playoffs are quickly approaching and the Chargers are going to want to put their best 53 players on the field.
Lamp missed all of last season after tearing an ACL during a practice in the first week of training camp.
