Getty ImagesIf the Chiefs decide to spread the Chargers out today, it’s with good reason.
San Diego enters this afternoon’s game with just three cornerbacks on the active roster, compromising their ability to run certain sets on defense.
Michael Gehlken of U-T San Diego said coach Norv Turner has a plan on how to handle the shortage, but obviously hopes he doesn’t have to play the Chiefs with just two corners if one gets hurt.
Behind starters Quentin Jammer and Antoine Cason, the Chargers have just Marcus Gilchrist available in reserve for today’s game. Shareece Wright is out with a high ankle sprain suffered in the opener, and because they needed to sign an extra kicker this week, they were unable to shuffle practice squader Greg Gatson up as they have done.
They have used safety Eric Weddle to cover the slot, bringing Corey Lynch in to fill his spot.
But against a team that can move the ball, it’s a tough spot to be in.

This would be a story line if Matt Cassel were able to throw the ball downfield.
This is an ( also ran ) division. All they need is a body. Every team in this division is an 8 and 8 team.
“Had to sign a backup kicker..” Really? Good luck with that charger fan.
Well if there are any Michigan Wolverines playing for the Chiefs, Corey Lynch will probably find a way to block a game winning field goal.
Meddle is very effective in the slot and the chiefs don’t have much behind bowe. I’m not worried
If the Chiefs QB was anybody other than Matt Cassel or Blaine Gabbert, it would be a problem.
Looks like it all worked out. 3 picks. Ain’t no thaaang!
Go Boltz!
P.s… Send Shareece “the Traitor” Wright packing. Homie has no place here in San Diego. Worthless.
