Sam Farmer of the LA Times picks WFT 27-23. Used to think he was smart I wonder how he sees WFT getting 27? Blocked punts, kick returns? They aren't driving the field for that against our defense.

I think the Chargers will win and would take the under. What I really want to see is how the coaches handle the second half. Last year it seemed all halftime adjustments were ineffectual or worse.

WR Curtis Samuel is out for Washington this week. Rivera doesn’t sound pleased about the injury.

WR Curtis Samuel is out for Washington this week. Rivera doesn’t sound pleased about the injury. I'm not just saying this because we play them this week, Wash. WR's are probably the worst in the NFL. I mean that is a lousy group. Samuel being out really helps us.

RB Austin Ekeler was practicing today. I’m guessing that he had some hamstring tightness earlier this week, so they were being precautious by sitting him the past two days. 🤞

BUT if he is even tweaked a little, get those fresh young RB's rotated in !! I'd run JJ into the ground before I even thought about injuring Ekeler.

If it’s bothering Ek at all come Sunday, they need to sit him. They can’t afford having it become a long-term issue going into Week 1.

Typically, practicing Friday means you are going Sunday. Good luck to our Number 1 RB !!!!!!!! Dual-threat killer !!

Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said he expects running back Austin Ekeler to play in Sunday's season opener at Washington. Ekeler missed practice Wednesday and Thursday with a hamstring injury, but he returned to the field today and was listed as limited. "He looked good out there," Staley said. "Optimistic for sure." Ekeler had 530 yards rushing and 403 receiving in 10 games last year and would give the Chargers offense a considerable boost against one of the better defenses in the league in Washington. This story will be updated. More to come. theathletic.com/news/austin-ekeler-expected-to-play-in-opener-at-washington/uxIV9mpcBIW4_____ Staley’s presser.

Samuel being out really helps us. They can't be that bad......they chose not to claim the three stud WR's Chargers placed on the practice squad, so......which is the bigger 'trash' group?

Just watch on Sunday as their WR corps on the active roster pales in comparison to the Chargers fivesome. Unless the WFT totally dominates on Sunday with their defensive front seven and special teams (which is possible), the Skins are overmatched in other areas.
