Los Angeles Chargers safety Jaylen Watkins tears ACL In typical Chargers fashion Youth Desmond King Jersey , another (possibly) key player has suffered a season-ending injury. This injury was sustained by Safety Jaylen Watkins. Watkins has reportedly torn his ACL, per Ian Rapaport. This is the third player that has suffered this injury for the Chargers, with the first two being tight ends Hunter Henry and Austin Roberts. He is also the second defensive back to be out for the season after cornerback Jason Verrett tore his Achilles on the first day of camp. Things are not looking good on the injury front for the team. The injury occurred when Melvin Ingram fell onto the leg of Watkins during the Chargers’ 24-14 preseason win over the Seattle Seahawks last night. This game saw Watkins start the game at free safety, this being his first start for the team. Watkins signed with the team this offseason after being waived by the team that used a fourth round pick on him in 2014, the Philadelphia Eagles. In 2017 Youth Drew Kaser Jersey , he played under a one year deal with the reigning Super Bowl champions, playing in 12 of the team’s 16 regular season games. He was in the competition for the team’s starting free safety position with players like Jahleel Addae and Rayshawn Jenkins. Watkins’ unfortunate injury takes who was perhaps leading the competition, given the fact that he started last night’s game, out of the equation. The free safety position was already one of the team’s most glaring holes that needed to be filled, that need now becomes even more stressed. Expect to see Watkins placed on the Injured Reserve list in the coming days http://www.chargersfootballauthentics.c … -authentic , with there also being a chance the team brings in another player to compete for the spot that Watkins will now be vacating.Chargers to have three new starters on the defense Some news was dropped about an hour before the Chargers kick off their 2018 campaign regarding the starters on the defensive side of the ball...We knew that Joey Bosa would be out today, and if you were paying attention during the offseason and training camp practices you won’t be surprised to see that Isaac Rochell has been pegged as the starter in the interim. Rochell came in to camp this year notably in better shape and his play has reflected that, with a burst we hadn’t seen last season as well as some additional pass rush ability that I personally didn’t think he was capable of. He was impressive in preseason action, here’s hoping that can transition in to results today and for as long as Bosa is ailing with the foot injury. Derwin James. Pretty sure I won’t be the only one who isn’t surprised to see that he will be getting the start instead of Rayshawn Jenkins as the starting safety opposite Jahleel Addae. This was the safety pairing we saw in the week three preseason matchup against the New Orleans Saints. The discussion of how we classify each of them and the role they play will play itself out as the season goes on, but if the practices I saw are an indicator they will likely have Derwin closer to the line of scrimmage while rotating them from time to time to keep the offense guessing. Starting Derwin is the right move Womens Isaac Rochell Jersey , no matter the role they put him in. You don’t keep someone with that kind of ability off of the field.Kyzir White is the surprise here, for me. Not when you take in to account how good he looked in the preseason, but in reference to expectations of a fourth round selection in the NFL Draft who is changing positions. This move became even more likely when you factor in how Jatavis Brown played last season, and even more recently this year in the preseason. Quite frankly, he hasn’t adjusted well to Gus Bradley’s defense and it’s becoming more obvious each and every game. I was a fan of that selection and how he played in 2016 Authentic Brandon Mebane Jersey , but Kyzir starting is the right move for this defense.What do you think of these moves? Were they the same direction you would have gone? Custom Denver Broncos Jerseys
