Through two days of training camp, it\u2019s been more of the same for second-round rookie Jake Slaughter. He spent the majority of the offseason running as the second-team center while also seeing snaps at left guard with the 2s and 3s.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, free-agent addition Kayode Awosika has remained as the current starter at left guard. He played with the 1s on Wednesday before seeing less snaps on Thursday while Trevor Penning was given a look in front of Justin Herbert.<\/p>\n
At some point, if the Chargers truly want Slaughter to be in the fight for the starting LG job, they need to start giving him actual and consistent reps there. If not, then that pick will become even more of a head-scratcher than it was at the time it was made.<\/p>\n
For now, it\u2019s still early enough that things could change dramatically by the start of the regular season, but it remains one of the team\u2019s biggest storylines at this point in the summer.<\/p>\n
