The Chargers will practice Tuesday at 1 p.m. before traveling Wednesday for the Hall of Fame Game.
Here is the Chargers Camp Report from Monday’s practice:

The undrafted free agent cornerback had another strong day Monday as continues to be one of the brightest players on the entire roster throughout camp.
Reed, who had a pick 6 on Thursday, has now flashed in almost all of the Bolts 10 practices so far in camp.
“I would say [consistency] is probably the most impressive,” Chargers Defensive Coordinator Jesse Minter said Monday after practice. “The old adage is, ‘Make a play a day and people will start to know who you are.’
“Especially if you’re undrafted, it’s like how do you get people in the building, organization to really remember who that guy is? You make a play every day,” Minter continued. “That kind of stands out, everybody starts talking about you whether it’s the veteran players, everybody that’s involved in this decision.
“I think he’s doing a great job, consistent, competitive, love where his head is at, love where he’s at,” Minter said. “Excited to see him play real football on Thursday.”
Monday’s practice make perhaps the defensive play of the day in the red zone.
With wide receiver JaQuae Jackson running a go ball toward the end zone, Reed stayed with him step for step before diving at that last second for a pass breakup.
The play drew cheers from both the crowd and defensive sideline, and wasn’t Reed’s only strong play of the session, too.
He also locked down Dez Fitzpatrick in a 1-on-1 drill to force an incompletion.
Reed, who played collegiately at Colorado and Oregon, is listed at 5-foot-10 and 180 pounds.
“I like where the room is at … young guys like Nikko have stepped in and taken of the extra opportunities,” Minter said. “Sometimes the guy that takes advantage of the extra opportunity can make a push.”
