Womens Corey Liuget Jersey , Russell Okung has been held out of football since being diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism, a condition that had Russell not seen a doctor as quickly as he did after noticing shortness of breath during practice, could have cost him his life. Seeing as this was not only career threatening, but life threatening, many of us have only been rooting for Okung to survive and live a healthy life. The Chargers placing him on the NFI (Non-Football Illness) List which keeps a player off your active roster for 6 weeks to start the season seemed more like the team was buying themselves time to evaluate him before needing to end his season.Yesterday, Okung shared this with the world via twitter:The news of Russell Okung winning his battle with the life threatening illness is not only phenomenal news in and of itself, but I’d be lying to you if I said I wasn’t nearly as excited to hear the possibility of Okung coming to rescue the Chargers offensive line in hollywood-movie-plot fashion. Did he say Week 7?That thought seemed like a far fetched technicality referring to being activated off the NFI list rather than for this weekend’s game after being held out of football for almost three full months. However Dan Feeney Jersey , he has already been back to practice this week, and Eric Williams shared a response he got from Anthony Lynn on the left tackle’s availability:It doesn’t take much reading between the lines to see this implies he should be out there Sunday. Anthony Lynn may keep things close to the vest, but this would be a very elaborate response to give off a strong impression that he’s playing when he isn’t, and that’s not something he’s done up to this point. Trent Scott, an undrafted rookie in 2018 had one career start prior to being asked to man the left tackle position since Okung’s diagnosis. Already in a difficult position for any backup, he’s been asked to do this on a line that hasn’t possessed the ability to favor his side in pass protection in the way they should. Scott has done more than he should’ve been asked to, but if Okung is physically cleared http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-derek-watt-jersey , a day and a half of practice with his experience and ability would never hurt the team compared to what they’re asking Scott to deal with. His return could not possibly have been better news for a struggling Chargers team coming off back to back losses to a Broncos team that was then 0-4, and a Steelers team that came into the game 1-4 fielding their third string quarterback in a loss that wasn’t as close as the score suggests. Injuries throughout the roster have been devastating, especially when taking away the only two proven, dependable veterans on the offensive line. Plugging Okung back into the starting lineup whether that be this week or next is indescribably good news. Couple that with the return of Hunter Henry last week who can offer some support in blocking to go with his dynamic receiving ability and a struggling Chargers offense is getting a huge boost up front. For a team looking to fight their way into the playoff picture, they couldn’t have received any news better this week.

Their playoff push ended in a lopsided loss to the New England Patriots Womens Travis Benjamin Jersey , but the pieces are in place for another impressive run.

In five seasons, Verrett has managed all of 1,266 snaps. New Steelers corner Steven Nelson played 1,308 last year with the Chiefs including the playoffs. In his lone ‘full’ season back in 2015 though, Verrett earned a 90.9 coverage grade. Full being in quotes there as he still only managed 720 snaps that season due to his improbably bad injury luck.Oakland adds to its receiving corps, signs Tyrell Williams to pair with Antonio Brown - Cameron PezetWilliams has never been regarded as a “number one” receiver Keenan Allen Jersey , but he’s been one of Philip Rivers’ top targets over the last three seasons. Not counting his rookie year where he was only targeted six times, Williams’ overall grades since 2016(75.6, 62.0, and 65.9) aren’t particularly strong but he has shown the ability to gain big chunks of yards down the field.Re-grading the 2018 NFL draft: Mel Kiper on the best, worst rookie classes - Mel Kiper Jr. (insider)The Chargers didn't get a ton from the rest of the class -- one to mention is Uchenna Nwosu, who had 3.5 sacks in the regular season and a huge strip sack in the playoff win over the Ravens -- but James being an elite defender means I can't drop them far. I also like the potential of Kyzir White, who played some linebacker as a rookie as L.A. was hit with injuries.Extension Candidate: Melvin Gordon - Rory ParksGM Tom Telesco has said that he is open to considering an extension for Gordon — who is entering the final year of his rookie deal — this offseason http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-ladainian-tomlinson-jersey , per Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times. However, Telesco indicated he didn’t have a timetable for a new deal, and given that there have not been any public reports concerning an extension, it may not happen until the summer at this point.Social Media Information:BFTB Facebook Page: Click here to like our pageBFTB Twitter: Follow @BFTB_ChargersThe Lightning Round Twitter: Follow @Lightning_RoundThe Lightning Round Facebook: Click here to like our pageBFTB Manager: Richard Wade: Follow @RichardWade
