Unser Chat » Calif. (AP)Nick Rose is the Los Angeles Chargers’ fourth

COSTA MESA Cheap Dwayne Haskins Jersey , Calif. (AP)Nick Rose is the Los Angeles Chargers’ fourth kicker of the season. The Chargers (7-7) waived Travis Coons and claimed Rose off waivers from Washington on a busy Monday that also included disappointing injury diagnoses for three key players. Defensive lineman Corey Liuget and linebacker Denzel Perryman will miss Sunday’s game at the New York Jets after getting hurt in Kansas City. Tight end Hunter Henry might be forced to join them on the sideline with a lacerated kidney, but the Chargers aren’t yet certain about his availability. Coons missed an extra point in the Chargers’ 30-13 loss Saturday to the Kansas City Chiefs. He had made six of his seven field-goal attempts in three games with Los Angeles, but coach Anthony Lynn said Coons’ ”leg strength was a little short,” particularly on kickoffs. ”When Nick became available, we wanted to take a look at him,” Lynn said. ”We’re looking for a kicker that we can keep around here for a few years, and so right now we’re just kind of looking and evaluating guys. ”It doesn’t mean Travis can’t come back if Nick doesn’t work out, but we like the job that Nick did in Washington. He kicked it minus-4, minus-8. He had a lot of touchbacks. Got a little more leg. We’ll see. Rose made 10 of his 11 field-goal attempts for the Redskins, who signed him in October and waived him last weekend after Dustin Hopkins returned from injury. Rookie Younghoe Koo began the season as Los Angeles’ kicker, but lasted only four games. Nick Novak then made nine of his 13 field-goal attempts before injuring his back last month in Dallas, where punter Drew Kaser was forced to fill in on extra points. Kickers are far from the only concern with the Chargers, who had won seven of their past nine games to storm into playoff contention before getting handled by the Chiefs. Los Angeles is now sitting behind Kansas City and wild-card contenders Buffalo, Tennessee and Baltimore, who have identical 8-6 records. ”I’m discouraged that we don’t control our own destiny,” Lynn said. ”We were in position to do that, and we let it slip away. All we can control now is what we do on Sunday.” The Chargers could win out and still miss the playoffs, but that task would be tougher without three regulars who went down last weekend. Liuget sprained his knee, while Perryman strained a lower-leg ligament, Lynn said. Liuget has 1+ sacks while serving as a key run-stopper and space-filler on the defensive line. Perryman has racked up 34 tackles in six games since returning at midseason from a training camp injury Landon Collins Jersey , leading the Chargers’ improved run defense. Henry’s absence would be a crushing blow. The second-year pro has 45 catches for 579 yards and four touchdowns while emerging as a key target for Philip Rivers. The tight end was hurt by a blindside hit from Chiefs defensive tackle Bennie Logan on the same play on which rookie running back Austin Ekeler broke his hand. Lynn said Ekeler might attempt to play with a cast on his broken hand, but the Chargers haven’t decided yet. Receiver Keenan Allen and safety Adrian Phillips are expected to return after injuries ended their nights early in Kansas City. Allen is third in the NFL with 1,197 yards receiving and sixth with 88 catches. — Last week, the Redskins saw a significant upgrade at wide receiver via rounds three and six of the 2019 NFL Draft.

In those rounds, came speedster Terry McLaurin and Bully Kelvin Harmon. Both prospects were, at one time or another, projected as high as round two in the draft. Both were able to be secured for picks after round two, and the Redskins and their fans came out thinking they may have gotten two very good young players at a bargain.McLaurin, who at 6’0” 208 pounds, ran a 4.35 40 at the combine, while adding a 37.5 inch vertical and 18 reps at 225 pounds. He was a bit un-heralded coming out of Ohio State, but many talent evaluates claimed he was the best draftable receiver on the Buckeyes. Aside from having great speed, McLaurin is known for running detailed routes, having very solid hands, throwing great blocks downfield, being a special teams demon, and a lead-by-example guy in the locker room. My NFL comparison for him is Pierre Garcon. Later on in the draft, the Redskins landed N.C. State’s Kelvin Harmon. Standing at nearly 6’3” and weighing over 220 pounds Trent Williams Jersey , Harmon bullies smaller defensive backs with his physicality and work in and out of his stem. He knows how to use his body, and adjusts well to balls thrown into coverage. He also tracks the ball very well on over-the-shoulder passes, and has been a big redzone threat for the Wolfpack. Harmon posted back-to-back 1000 yard receiving seasons at N.C. State before deciding to forgo his senior season and enter the NFL Draft. Many draft pundits had him ranked as one of the best receivers in this class, before a less-than-stellar combine dropped him a bit. My NFL comparison for him is the Saints Michael Thomas, who also had a slower 40 yard dash, but uses his body and strong hands to win against coverage. The question now becomes, should the Redskins let both young receivers learn the NFL game on the go with new signal caller Dwayne Haskins?It’s important for a young quarterback to develop chemistry with his receivers. It’s evident that Josh Doctson is not in the team’s long-term plans, so having the fourth year pro developing a connection with Haskins will be a short-lived one. The team did re-sign Brian Quick before the draft to give the Redskins the bigger body they so desired, but with Harmon now in the fold, and Cam Sims healthy, Quick may be a afterthought. The return of Paul Richardson will be a welcome addition this fall, but the former Seahawk speedster will have to prove he can stay healthy if he expects to make significant contributions on offense. The other wild-card is Trey Quinn, who was last year’s Mr. Irrelevant. Quinn is expected to compete for the open slot receiver position vacated when Jamison Crowder left via free agency. His rookie year was cut short due to injury, so he’ll have to prove he’s ready to take on the rigors of a full 16-game season this fall.Many fans liked what they saw last year in the preseason from Alabama rookie Cam Sims. He could also factor into the mix on the outside with a strong training camp. It’s been a while since the Redskins have had a true number one receiving target. It’s been an eternity since the team has had a young quarterback to go along with talented young receivers.This year, the Redskins could have the luxury of having both, and have the opportunity to have them develop and grow together.If Haskins earns the start at quarterback to begin the season, it may benefit the Redskins in the long-term to have both rookies learning at his side.What a luxury this could truly become!
