Chargers Finally Get Big Boost as Mekhi Becton Returns to Practice

Los Angeles Chargers Injury Update

The Los Angeles Chargers finally got some encouraging news on the injury front. Right guard Mekhi Becton, who has been sidelined with an undisclosed injury, returned to the practice field on Tuesday.

While it was a positive step, offensive coordinator Greg Roman tempered expectations, noting that Becton is “progressing” but still uncertain to join team drills this week.

For a Chargers team that is banking on improved offensive line play to protect Justin Herbert and open up the run game in Jim Harbaugh’s second season, Becton’s health is a storyline worth watching closely.
