The Chargers have a void to fill, at least for now.
After trading Desmond King to the Titans on Monday, Los Angeles now finds themselves needing to fill the temporary void at the slot cornerback position.
At Monday’s media availability, coach Anthony Lynn started out by saying “Sometimes players need a fresh start. His time was up here and I wish him all the best,” when giving his thoughts on the trade
With King out, Lynn said he’s considering TeVaughn Campbell, Nasir Adderley and Jahleel Addae for starting slot duties.
Campbell started in place of King this past weekend, where he had a solid outing with the exception of the pass interference call and blown assignment on the final drive.
Addae was signed a couple of weeks ago to provide versatility. While he’s primarily played safety, he can play inside if need be. The same applies for Adderley, whose natural position is free safety, but has some experience at cornerback.
Chris Harris Jr. is the one who mans the starting spot, but he remains on the injured reserve with a foot injury, and he will continue to be sidelined for at least a couple of more weeks.
