The rookies were in the spotlight Monday afternoon.
The Chargers are back to Organized Team Activity (OTA) practices but with a catch, as Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh dismissed the veterans after last week's mandatory minicamp.
The Bolts will hold two more OTA practices this week before turning their attention to training camp.
Here are three observations from Monday's OTA practice:
1. All eye on the youngsters
The Chargers only had 24 players on the field for Monday's practice.
Some of that was due to the vets being gone, but a handful of youngsters also worked off to the side rehabbing injuries.
And that meant some position groups only had a single player. DJ Uiagalelei, for example, was the lone quarterback in attendance while Marlowe Wax was the only linebacker.
The offensive line group featured five players as they lined up, from left to right, with Corey Stewart, Branson Taylor, Josh Kaltenberger, Nash Jones and Tyler McLellan.
There were also five defensive backs present but every other position group featured three players or fewer.
Omarion Hampton and Raheim "Rocket" Sanders were the running backs as the pair traded off reps in the backfield.
