Chargers defensive end Melvin Ingram showed up to training camp in style. But Ingram wasn’t in style on Friday, as the 31-year old was in sweats on the sideline.
After the team finished up with practice, coach Anthony Lynn was asked if Ingram was dealing with an injury as the reason why he wasn’t participating in practice.
“Melvin’s going to be fine,” explained Lynn. “He’s all in. He is in every meeting, and he’s out there coaching and helping the young guys.”
Lynn followed that up with an interesting remark, stating “I mean, just company business.”
Ingram is entering the final year of his four-year deal that he signed back in 2017. He saw his teammate, Joey Bosa, earn a monstrous contract extension, and he is likely desiring one, too.
Ingram’s status will be an interesting storyline to follow. Here’s to hoping that a holdout doesn’t stir up.
