Chargers Daily Links: Tuesday Open Thread

Good morning, Chargers fans!

The first day of pads came and went without any catastrophic injury taking place. That’s amazing news. I don’t think I could have taken another Forrest Lamp-level of injury ahead of this season so I’m incredibly relieved on that front. Public practices do not resume until this Friday but here’s to hoping everyone escapes the week clean ahead of the team’s intrasquad scrimmage this weekend.

And now for today’s links.
