Chargers coach Mike McCoy knew what it sounded like, so he acted quickly to head off any speculation.
According to Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune, Chargers left tackle King Dunlap’s absence from practice was described as his “being treated for migraines.”
“This is not linked to concussions,” McCoy said. “It’s migraines.”
The question was reasonable, as Dunlap has some history of head injuries (at least four documented since 2012).
He was a late scratch last week against the Colts with what the team termed “an illness,” after being on and off the practice field, which raised questions about his status. The Chargers termed him day-to-day last week.
