2. Chargers get lots of situational work
Believe it or not, the Chargers are just 10 days away from their first preseason game.
As a result, the Bolts focused heavily on situational work at Monday’s practice.
That mindset began early with a ‘Mayday’ period in which the field goal operation had to sprint onto the field and get lined up as the clocked ticked down.
Cameron Dicker didn’t actually kick, by the way, but is expected to partake in full team drills later in the week.
The Chargers offense also worked on getting the ball away from their own end zone as they faced first-and-10 at the 1-yard line.
Herbert’s group faced third-and-3 from the 8-yard line in that drill before he connected with Ladd McConkey for a first down.
Trey Lance’s group was up next and also had a third-and-3 situation before the quarterback scrambled to move the sticks.
The Chargers later worked on red-zone situations and a 2-minute drill, as quarterback DJ Uiagalelei’s group were at their own 35-yard line with a minute and 15 seconds left on the clock.
Uiagalelei got the offense into field goal range before Dicker trotted onto the field. But he did not attempt what would have been a roughly 50-yard attempt.
3. Molden comes off PUP list
Elijah Molden is making progress.
The Chargers safety was activated off the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) List and dressed out for Monday’s practice.
Molden went through stretches with teammates before working off to the side with a trainer.
The next step for Molden is likely going through individual work before ramping up to 7-on-7 and full-team drills.
Molden missed the Chargers final regular-season game and playoff loss with multiple injuries, including a broken leg and a meniscus injury.
Molden signed a multi-year contract extension with the Chargers in February before free agency started.
