2017 Training Camp/Preseason Games Discussion Thread

[ProfessaPackMan]

This was from earlier today:

Quote:

A report from Alex Marvez of Sporting News on Monday indicated that Chargers coach Anthony Lynn told quarterback Philip Rivers and tight end Antonio Gates that they had to be at Saturday’s training camp practice rather than travel to Canton to see former teammate LaDainian Tomlinson inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Lynn disputed that report later in the day. He said he has not blocked any player from going and that final decisions are still pending. “I’ve talked to Philip. I’ve talked to Antonio. I’ve even talked to LT. We’re all on the same page,” Lynn said, via USA Today. “At the end of the day, we’re going to make the best decision for our football team, and that’s it.” Per Marvez’s initial report, Gates is still considering going to see Tomlinson but Rivers told Alex Flanagan of NFL Media that he will not go to Canton. Rivers said that it was his choice rather than Lynn blocking him from going, although Lynn did say he wanted Rivers to be at Saturday’s session. The practice is being held at the StubHub Center, which will be the Chargers’ home for a few years, and is a joint session with the Rams, who will be joining them in a forthcoming stadium.

lol, Chargers.

What nonsense.

Doesn't seem like good news for James Conner's shoulder if the Steelers are bringing in another RB to camp. Depth is limited with Bell out.

Yeah, the Chargers aren't exactly looking so great with the whole Rivers/Gates thing. They'll probably back down now because it got publicized.


Anywho, I see Stephon Gilmore and Julian Edelman were kicked out of practice because of a fight. That's normally not too crazy at this point in time but you don't usually see camp blow ups in a Belichick run camp.

Hope he's enjoying that TV coverage in New England!

Doesn't matter. They'll still win the Super Bowl this year.

Kellen Moore has no arm. If Dak goes down. We are in trouble.
