After two days of practices between the Saints and Chargers, this would be as close to “confrontation” as it would get. “We had another good, clean practice with the Saints,” Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said, satisfied that no knuckleheaded-ness derailed the teams’ work. The controlled practices allowed the Chargers and Lynn to learn about the back half of the roster, where much remains unsettled. The results were mixed, with Philip Rivers getting “sacked” a few times with Tyreek Burwell manning left tackle and Chris Hairston running with the first team at right tackle. There’ll be no more joint practices, no more practice periods against strange faces and uniform numbers to fuel competition.
