EL SEGUNDO — Chargers edge rushers Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack made themselves at home in the Rams’ backfield during the teams’ joint practice Sunday.
The Chargers recorded three sacks during an especially impressive opening period with Bosa and Mack on the field together. There also was a tipped ball that resulted in an interception as well as two offensive penalties. Later, defensive back Tony Jefferson tipped a ball and linebacker Nick Niemann picked it off.
Healing into the Chargers’ third week of camp and with their exhibition opener looming Saturday against the Seattle Seahawks at SoFi Stadium, it would seem that the secondary is all but set. Ja’Sir Taylor is the likely fifth member, playing soundly when the Chargers have gone with five defensive backs.
“The way he has been practicing is the way I think he can play, you know?” Minter said of Fulton. “A lot of times with DBs, the mental space, the confidence, the feeling the guys around you believe in you – it’s so important. You’re on an island a lot of times. You feel like it’s all up to you, the last line of defense.
