The Chargers are figuring out how they’re going to go about playing without safety Derwin James after he injured his right meniscus in practice on Sunday.
Among the ways that Los Angeles could address the situation, which has garnered a lot of attention, is by signing free agent Earl Thomas.
However, coach Anthony Lynn put those assumptions to bed when asked by a reporter at today’s media availability, stating he has confidence with the players that are on the roster.
“Since you guys are constantly telling me how stacked my secondary is, why the hell would I be looking anywhere else?” Lynn told reporters Monday, per The Athletic’s Daniel Popper.
The murmurs started because Thomas played for defensive coordinator Gus Bradley with the Seahawks years ago.
This was said before a report came out that said there is mutual interest between L.A. and safety Jahleel Addae, whom played with the team for six seasons.
If the Chargers choose to go into the season with their in-house options, I laid out a few options on how they can line up the defensive backs in the absence of James.
