Chargers undergo big OL shuffles in front of Justin Herbert on final injury report

In this story:
The Los Angeles Chargers will undergo another dramatic offensive line shuffle in front of Justin Herbert.
This time, said shuffle will occur due to injuries, with star guard Mekhi Becton officially out for the Chargers’ Week 4 game against the New York Giants. Starting center Bradley Bozeman is officially questionable, too, making him a 50-50 chance to play.
Both Becton and Bozeman appear on the team’s final injury report ahead of Week 4.

Becton suffered an injury last week, which should mean Jamaree Salyer gets into the starting lineup. On paper, Foster Sarell should come up from the practice squad to serve as a backup swing guard.
Perhaps more interesting is center. If Bozeman can’t go, Andre James could get the nod after coming over in free agency from the Las Vegas Raiders. He didn’t rip the gig from Bozeman over the summer like some fans hoped, but he’s a capable spot starter.
