SAN DIEGO – With Branden Oliver lost for the season after suffering an Achilles injury against the Minnesota Vikings last week, the starting kick return job is up for grabs for the San Diego Chargers.
As San Diego prepares for the team’s final preseason game on Thursday against the San Francisco 49ers, second-year pro Isaiah Burse is battling for that spot on the 53-man roster.
“It’s real big,” the Fresno State product said. “Obviously, I’ve been fighting for that job all training camp, and I’m still fighting for it. If I get the job, great, but if not, I’m still going to be working for it, because you just never know what’s going to happen.
