#### **2\. McConkey, Hart battle in 1-on-1s**
The Chargers won't play 15 or so starters in Houston on Thursday night, meaning Tuesday served as a chance for that group to get some solid reps.
That was the case in 1-on-1 drills as pass catchers and defenders went at it for the first time in camp, with the trenches following after.
Ladd McConkey and Cam Hart produced two of the best battles for the day, with each winning a rep.
McConkey started the drill by using his shiftiness to get downfield and hauling in a long pass from Herbert.
But Hart responded on the next rep by forcing an incompletion in tight coverage.
Offensively, Tre' Harris produced the highlight with a dazzling, tumbling catch deep down the field against Jackson.
Oronde Gadsden and Charlie Kolar each showed good rapport with Herbert while Luke Grimm also had a solid rep.
On the defensive side, James produced a pass breakup against David Njoku while Daiyan Henley had one against Evan Svoboda.
Deane Leonard, Avery Smith and Genesis Smith each also forced incompletions.
As far as the trenches go, **[Tuli Tuipulotu](https://www.chargers.com/news/tuli-tuipulotu-nfl-top-100-contract)** won his initial rep against Joe Alt before Jamaree Caldwell bested Cole Strange along the interior.
Tyler Biadasz won against Tart before Jake Slaughter and Justin Eboigbe split a pair of reps.
Undrafted rookie Nadame Tucker won all three of his reps, besting Trey Pipkins III, Branson Taylor and Laekin Vakalahi, respectively.
Tucker pulled out power moves to top Pipkins and Taylor in the drill.
Tuipulotu said after practice that he's been impressed by Tucker in camp, noting "his grit" has stood out.
Kyle Kennard split his pair of reps while Mesidor got the best of Travis Burke on one rep.
Offensively, Trevor Penning won all three of his reps while Jacob Spomer won both of his.
Kayode Awosika, meanwhile, had a strong win against TeRah Edwards up front.
