Chargers’ left tackles dropping like flies

The San Diego Chargers have been as unlucky with injuries as anyone this season. And today it’s getting worse.

Chargers left tackle King Dunlap went down with an injury early in the game against the Jaguars. Then Dunlap’s replacement, Mike Remmers, promptly suffered an injury of his own.

There’s no immediate word on the severity of either left tackle’s injury, but losing both their starting left tackle and their backup left tackle would be a huge blow for a team that can’t afford any more bad injury news.

At least, it would be a huge blow going forward. Today they’re playing the Jaguars, so it’s no surprise that despite the injuries, the Chargers lead 14-0.
