The Chargers could be getting some help on the backend of the defense as they close out the regular season and get into the playoffs.
On Monday, Jim Harbaugh said the team could open up safety Alohi Gilman’s 21-day practice window this week.
Gilman has been on injured reserve since Week 12 with a hamstring injury.
With Marcus Maye on IR and Elijah Molden out for the remainder of the season with a broken fibula, Los Angeles would benefit from Gilman’s return.
In 10 games, Gilman amassed four passes defended and an interception.
