Chargers held their second Week 1 practice on Thursday.

Here is the practice participation breakdown:

Full participation (FP): Edge rusher Khalil Mack returned from a rest day and safety R.J. Mickens (ankle) upgraded from limited to full participation.
Limited participation (LP): Running back Keaton Mitchell (hamstring), wide receiver Brenen Thompson (hip), and edge rusher Tuli Tuipulotu (hip) were listed as limited for the second consecutive day.

Did not participate (DNP): Cornerback Deane Leonard missed his second straight practice due to an abdominal injury.

Outlook for Week 1

The cautious approach with players like Mitchell, Thompson, and Tuipulotu suggests they are expected to play on Sunday. However, if Leonard remains sidelined, second-year corner Nikko Reed could be elevated on game day to bolster special teams and defensive depth.
