What exactly are the #Chargers getting in Trevor Penning? How much of an impact can he make on an injured offensive line? Dove into Penning's film to answer those questions: https://t.co/fmfNwuzClk

There was no ideal fix to the Chargers’ offensive tackle situation, but Penning should be in the mix for playing time.

Jim Harbaugh on if the personnel management on special teams has impacted the #Chargers performance in that phase: "That's not a noble, real question."

Jim Harbaugh said Trevor Penning will work at both tackle spots in practice this week "to begin with." But he added that he likes Penning's "versatility" at guard, as well. Mentioned Penning's toughness and finishing. "I think he’s kind of like what we like," Harbaugh said.

The #Chargers had to do something, and they did. But the 2025 outlook has not changed to any significant degree by adding Trevor Penning. The ceiling caved in when Joe Alt went out for the season, and they will have to wait until next year to rebuild it. https://t.co/bYeYrwohDa

The Chargers needed to make an addition to the offensive line, but Penning isn't going to transform them back into contenders.
