Chargers' Mekhi Becton Questionable with Illness vs Chiefs
The Los Angeles Chargers face significant challenges in protecting quarterback Justin Herbert as they prepare for their season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs in Brazil. Offensive guard Mekhi Becton has been added to the injury report as questionable due to an illness, raising concerns given that left tackle Rashawn Slater is already out for the season with a torn patellar tendon. Becton, a key offseason signing expected to bolster both pass protection and the running game, missed much of the summer with an injury but had been cleared to start at right guard. If Becton cannot play, versatile lineman Jamaree Salyer is likely to step in, which could weaken an already thin offensive line. Head coach Jim Harbaugh's strategy to improve the running game will be tested early, especially with new running backs Omarion Hampton and Najee Harris set to carry the workload. The Chargers' offensive line depth is being severely tested, and any further injuries could jeopardize their performance in this crucial AFC West matchup.
