San Diego Chargers Training Camp Notes: August 15, 2015

The Chargers were back out at practice today and nothing really new on the injury front, though Jason Verrett had a rest day.

Jason Verrett, Greg Ducre, Johnnie Troutman and Tourek Williams not practicing for Chargers. Sean Lissemore and Donald Brown are back.

Donald Brown, Sean Lissemore and Steve Williams all had jerseys on but did not practice. Brown was getting in work on the side field away from the team.

Stevie Williams on the sideline, not practicing. Stretched, not in pads

The big stories of the first practice back was who would fill the shoes of Tourek Williams and Johnnie Troutman after receiving word that they would both be out for a significant amount of time. Answer to the first part of the question? Kyle Emanuel is that guy.

Kyle Emanuel getting some first team snaps. Earned it

Kyle Emanuel is getting reps with the first team defense during 11-on-11. The Chargers love this rookie

Love you, @k_emanuel53 #ChargersCamp

As for Johnnie Troutman, Jeremiah Sirles is taking over his second team Right Guard slot and filling Sirles' old role at Right Tackle is Craig Watts.

2nd team O-Line without Johnnie Troutman: LT Hairston, LG Huey, C Robinson, RG Sirles, RT Watts

Craig Watts looked comfortable at Right Tackle too.

Was confused to see @Cwatts64 at tackle, but he seems to be taking to it a lot more than guard. Nice job, coaches. #ChargersCamp

Other news and notes:

Interesting quote from McCoy before practice.

Interesting chat with Tom Telesco. Will post a recap later but here's a few things...optimistic Troutman returns. Loves his toughness...

— Marty Caswell (@MartyCaswell) August 15, 2015

Says he played 3 more snaps after he broke his arm. And Fluker playing right guard not as slam dunk as people assume.

— Marty Caswell (@MartyCaswell) August 15, 2015

This is still news.

In front of Philip Rivers this morning is same Chargers OL as vs Cowboys: LT Dunlap, LG Franklin, center Watt, RG Fluker, RT Barksdale.

— Tom Krasovic (@UTkrasovic) August 15, 2015

Joe Barksdale is always trying to learn and its contagious.

Joe Barksdale jumps in any conversation Rivers is having w/the OLine Rivers talking to Franklin about a check after the play, Joe walks over

— Garrett Sisti (@GarrettSisti) August 15, 2015

Fluker, Barksdale, getting extra reps after prac vs D-Line. @Chargers

McCoy was rotating Nose Tackles today with Lissemore still out.

Damion Square is taking first NT snaps & Jimmy Wilson is at SS. Your guess is as good as mine

— Garrett Sisti (@GarrettSisti) August 15, 2015

Carrethers the first NT this time around in drills.

— Garrett Sisti (@GarrettSisti) August 15, 2015

Apparently no Lissemore on the field for this part of practice. Carrethers on as 2nd team NT. #ChargersCamp

— Bolts From The Blue (@BFTB_Chargers) August 15, 2015

Jimmy Wilson also got a lot of first team snaps as the third Safety on the field.

THREE SAFETIES ON THE FIELD AT THE SAME TIME

— Bolts From The Blue (@BFTB_Chargers) August 15, 2015

Chargers running with two down lineman Liuget & Mathews & an extra safety Wilson on first 4 snaps with first team. Different look

— Garrett Sisti (@GarrettSisti) August 15, 2015

Ladarius Green is having a quiet camp much like the first preseason game.

I’m sure Ladarius Green is on the team this preseason, but he’s given no reason for anyone to mention him. #ChargersCamp

— Bolts From The Blue (@BFTB_Chargers) August 15, 2015

Passing drills & Inman ran the wrong route. 15 yards over his head just bad by Inman

— Garrett Sisti (@GarrettSisti) August 15, 2015

Craig Mager just had a beautiful pass deflection on Pettis, Perryman knocks down crossing route to Smith, good series by D #ThatsMyBoy

— Garrett Sisti (@GarrettSisti) August 15, 2015

Brock Hekking is the least athletic LB I’ve ever seen. #ChargersCamp

— Bolts From The Blue (@BFTB_Chargers) August 15, 2015

Titus Davis with a good catch in coverage for the TD

— Garrett Sisti (@GarrettSisti) August 15, 2015

Jacoby Jones makes the best out of every practice.

Jacoby Jones is ALWAYS dancing during practice. It's fun.

— Garrett Sisti (@GarrettSisti) August 15, 2015

Jacoby Jones just walked over to @chargers music tent, "Come on DJ, you got something else?" Kid Rock was playing haha. JJ wanted Nae Nae
