Chargers trying to heal up
SAN DIEGO — That the Chargers’ starting secondary was practicing on Friday is a good sign. Because it’s in for a big test on Monday night.
The Chargers host the Pittsburgh Steelers, trying to win their second straight game and go to 3-0 at Qualcomm Stadium.
Three key Chargers defensive backs continue to practice after being out of Sunday’s win over the Browns.
Cornerback Brandon Flowers left with a concussion. Jason Verrett, the other starting cornerback, was a late scratch with a foot injury.
Strong safety Jahleel Addae (ankle) missed his third straight outing.
Without them, the Browns’ Josh McCown threw for 356 yards against the Chargers.
Flowers was a full participant in Friday’s practice.
Verrett and Addae were limited.
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger isn’t expected to play because of a knee injury. But his favorite targets will be active.
“It is going to be a really big challenge to stop them,” Flowers said. “Everyone knows about Antonio Brown and that he’s a great playmaker.”
