Chargers injuries list piles up as big names miss training camp practice

The Los Angeles Chargers are less than a week away from their preseason opener and the wear and tear of training camp continues to emerge. 

Case in point, to end the week on Friday, the Chargers had a huge list of names missing in action. 

According to The Athletic’s Daniel Popper, the following players didn’t work to end the week: 

• OT Rashawn Slater 
• WR Jalen Reagor 
• CB Benjamin St-Juste 
• CB Deane Leonard 
• RB Raheim Sanders 
• WR Luke Grimm 
• TE McCallan Castles 
• Edge Bud Dupree 
• WR Brenden Rice 
• Edge Kylan Guidry 
• Edge Garmon Randolph

Slater continues to be out with a small physical setback at the same time he’s likely in deep contract extension talks. 

The injuries to wideouts, including hyped undrafted product Luke Grimm, explained why the Chargers just worked out a handful of receivers, signing one free agent in the aftermath. 

With Najee Harris still out and Raheim Sanders (another hyped undrafted free agent) dealing with an injury, the Chargers signed Nyheim Hines. 

Some of the listed names, such as veteran pass-rusher Bud Dupree, merely got veteran rest days. And Harbaugh has shortened practices this summer in response to the inclusion of the fourth preseason game.

But overall, this is a bigger list than the Chargers would probably like to see before the calendar even turns to August.
