Chargers’ offensive line will be limited for Week 4 vs. Browns
The San Diego Chargers’ offensive line will be limited for Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns, as four of the team's five starters have been hampered by injuries.
On Friday, the team announced that left guard Orlando Franklin (ankle) will miss Sunday's game, while left tackle King Dunlap (concussion) and center Chris Watt (groin) remain doubtful against the Browns. Right guard D.J. Fluker (ankle/chest) has been listed as questionable for Sunday.
As of Friday, right tackle Joe Barksdale was the only healthy starter on San Diego's offensive line.
All of the five aforementioned Chargers started in the team's Week 3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, before leaving the game at various points due to their respective injuries.
San Diego has lost two straight games since a season-opening win against the Detroit Lions.
The Chargers (1–2) will host the Browns (1–2) at 4:05 p.m. ET on Sunday.
