The Bolts are through 14 practices of Chargers Training Camp.
The Chargers held a short, non-padded session Monday by going for roughly 75 minutes at The Bolt.
The team will practice again Tuesday at 5 p.m. before an off day on Wednesday.
Here is the Chargers Camp Report from Monday’s practice:
Jim Harbaugh appears close to naming a starting offensive line.
The Chargers Head Coach was asked Monday if he had a timeline on naming a starting five, with the only real questions being whether or not Zion Johnson or Bradley Bozeman would be at center. The other player would slot into left guard.
“I’m pretty much getting there,” Harbaugh said. “It’s Boze right now at center and Zion at guard.”
He later added: “The best five right now as we see it is Rashawn [Slater] at left tackle, Zion [Johnson] at left guard, Brad Bozeman at center, Mekhi Becton at right guard and Joe Alt [at] right tackle.”
The Chargers then rolled out that offensive line at Monday’s practice, save for Jamaree Salyer sliding in for Becton at right guard.
Becton has missed recent practices but Harbaugh said Monday that whatever is keeping him out is in the “not severe category.”
Harbaugh didn’t officially say the starting offensive line is cemented, but he also gave his strongest public comments yet for keeping Johnson and Bozeman in the spots they were in last season.
“The versatility that’s been created has been really good,” Harbaugh said of the competition between the two. “The versatility of Boze playing guard has been good, we’ll have that in our back pocket.
“But at every step of this process, Zion has shown a real upside, high ceiling to have the versatility to be a center as well as be a starting guard,” Harbaugh added.
Harbaugh later noted that he expects Johnson to play center in Sunday’s preseason game against the Saints.
“Probably will play more snaps in this game with Zion at center,” Harbaugh said. “Just to have more of those game reps.”
Overall, Harbaugh raved about the position room, which includes Trey Pipkins III as the swing tackle, Salyer as the backup guard and Andre James as a strong depth piece at center.
“That’s the way I see the depth chart there and I’m bullish on them,” Harbaugh said. “They’re doing a heck of a job.”
