2. Where the O-line stands
The most watched position group on the Chargers roster has been the offensive line, and that was no different Tuesday afternoon.
The Bolts have three positions that are set with Slater (left tackle), right guard Mekhi Becton and Alt (right tackle), all of whom were in attendance and manning their usual spots.
The noteworthy competition is at left guard and center, where Zion Johnson and Bradley Bozeman continue to take the majority of the reps. Johnson, who played guard the past three seasons, is mostly working at center while Bozeman, the team's 2024 starting center, has been getting reps at left guard.
Harbaugh gave an update earlier Tuesday on where that position group stands.
"Really good. The guys I said that were starting a few, maybe a month or two ago, are in some combination," Harbaugh said. "Zion and Boze have been doing what we had foreseen. That's working out really well."
Harbaugh said he wants to get about a week or so into training camp before trying to nail down a starting five combination.
"If I had to think of a timeline, probably about eight to 10 days into camp historically is when I typically like to start setting the starting lineups," Harbaugh said. "From now until then, the competition will continue.
"It's been a vast improvement. I know some of the coaches have talked about it already, but the offensive lineman that we have in camp, from our best guy to the 15th, 14th-ranked guy, it's just a really good group, it's an improved group," Harbaugh added. "It's a bigger group, it's a better group. We're excited to work with them."
The Chargers opened position drills with the lineup, from left to right, of Slater, Bozeman, Johnson, Becton and Alt. The next group featured, from left to right, Trey Pipkins III, Jamaree Salyer, Andre James, Josh Kaltenberger and Tyler McLellan.
And while the main group stayed the same for the majority of practice, there was some shuffling along the interior.
At one point, Bozeman had moved inside to center while rookie Branson Taylor manned the left guard spot and Karsen Barnhart was at right guard.
With training camp just over five weeks away, expect this position group to continue to be sorted out.
