Chargers’ Justin Eboigbe virtually unblockable during most physical practice of camp

Key Points:

• The Los Angeles Chargers conducted their most physical training camp practice on Thursday, featuring first one-on-one drills between offensive and defensive linemen and a more intense "thud" tempo 11-on-11 period with increased defensive contact.
• Edge rusher Tuli Tuipulotu, still in contract talks, participated fully in padded drills and impressed coaches, while rookie defensive linemen like Justin Eboigbe and Akheem Mesidor showed strong pass-rushing abilities against offensive linemen.
• Offensive lineman Branson Taylor had a standout practice, earning reps at both left guard and right tackle, demonstrating solid blocking skills and versatility in the competition for starting positions.
• Quarterbacks Justin Herbert and Trey Lance each led their respective units with effective ground plays and passing, though the offense struggled with ball security, fumbling four times during team drills including multiple botched snaps.
• Key absences included defensive linemen Teair Tart and Laekin Vakalahi, while rookie safety Genesis Smith made a notable play with his first interception of camp, and left tackle Rashawn Slater returned to limited padded reps after a recent medical check.
