Players from the Chargers joined the movement Friday and released a statement that indicated many of them will not participate during voluntary in-person offseason workouts. Several NFL teams have taken similar stances as the league and the players association have been unable to agree on protocols surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike many clubs, however, the Chargers’ statement suggested some players will take part in in-person gatherings at the team’s facility. The NFL announced this week that May 19 will be the first week of in-person work. For the Chargers, a limited offseason program could impact the transition to new head coach Brandon Staley.
