Chargers announce depth chart, left guard position remains uncertain
Summary

The Los Angeles Chargers released their first depth chart of the season, highlighting ongoing competition at left guard. Kayode Awosika, Branson Taylor, and Jake Slaughter are all listed as potential starters, indicating that the team is still determining the best option to protect quarterback Justin Herbert. Last season, the offensive line struggled with multiple combinations, leading to increased pressure on Herbert.
