The first Chargers depth chart, for this weekend's Bears game, is out. There's not a lot on here that's shocking, but there are more answers than questions. A few notes:
- Apparently CBD (Craig Buster Davis) is no longer allowed to return punts or kicks, because he's nowhere to be seen on that part of the depth chart. That's okay, I guess.
- The starting Nose Tackle for your San Diego Chargers? Antonio Garay! Good guy, funny guy.
- Starting DEs are Luis Castillo and.......Jacques Cesaire. That's going to make some people angry.
- For what it's worth, Mike Tolbert is listed as the third-string RB (ahead of Marcus Mason, Shawnbrey McNeal, etc.) and Jeremy Williams is listed above Seyi Ajirotutu at WR.
- Jacob Hester, your starting FB?
- In a bit of a shocker, Kris Wilson is listed as the 2nd TE above Randy McMichael. I wonder if this isn't because Randy went down with a minor injury in practice yesterday. Same with the FB situation.
- The star of last season's preseason defense, Kevin Burnett, gets the start over Brandon Siler.
