Chargers' Tuli Tuipulotu practices in full pads, shines in drills
Summary

Tuli Tuipulotu participated in team drills for the Los Angeles Chargers on August 6, 2026, after previously working individually. He made a notable play by disrupting a run from Omarion Hampton, drawing significant cheers from the crowd. Tuipulotu's return to full participation follows questions about his earlier limited involvement, which could be linked to either physical concerns or a cautious approach ahead of a contract extension. Expectations are high for Tuipulotu, who recorded 13 sacks last season, now joined by first-round pick Akheem Mesidor.
