The Chargers concluded the sixth day of practices at Jack Hammett Sports Complex in Costa Mesa, CA.

Here are four notes from Day 6 of Chargers training camp:

New faces getting work with the first-team

Training camp is a way to see players in a variety of roles with the more experienced players and less experienced. Depending on how they are performing in camp can dictate the amount of reps given with the first, second and third-team. Today, running back Detrez Newsome and cornerback Arrion Springs received time with the 1’s. With the absence of RB Melvin Gordon, Newsome has benefited from the extra snaps received. He was a camp standout a year ago and if he continues to repeat that same effort, he could stamp himself as the last back on the roster with some more playing time in the regular season. Springs, who came into camp as another player fighting for a spot on the 53-man roster, has shown his worth, picking off two passes the other day. If he keeps this up, he may earn the last cornerback slot over Brandon Facyson, who is currently the favorite.

CB1 has made presence known

We haven’t heard too much about cornerbacks Casey Hayward and Desmond King since the attention has been shifted towards the battle between Trevor Williams and Michael Davis, as well as Springs. But one of the familiar faces in the secondary was the highlight today. Hayward posted two interceptions on the morning, one of which was the final play to close out the day on quarterback Tyrod Taylor. Hayward has benefited going up against two of the premiere wide receivers in Keenan Allen and Mike Williams.

Forrest Lamp is playing like he wants to start Week 1

Lamp has been the topic of discussion since knowing that he is completely healthy, and is looking to work his way into a starting role. The former Western Kentucky has continued to receive the majority of his reps with the first-team at left guard, which is very promising. Today, Lamp continued to show that he’s ready to earn that spot. He pulled to the second level and completely stuck linebacker Kyzir White. From that statement alone, it goes to show that his movement skills are still there post-ACL injury. Dan Feeney received snaps once again at center with the 1’s since Mike Pouncey had the day off. It’s intriguing to see him play there, but the coaching staff values versatility in their players. Feeney may be better suited as a swing offensive lineman in 2019 and he can earn a starting role next season, especially depending on the future of Michael Schofield, who’s an unrestricted free agent after this year.

Feeney at C & Lamp at LG the 2nd time around for the starters.

🚨PULLING LAMP ALERT 🚨

Sticks to Kyzir White at the 2nd level….guys!!!! — Garrett Sisti (@GarrettSisti) July 30, 2019

Injury updates

Safety Jaylen Watkins, cornerback Jeff Richards, FS Nasir Adderley, linebackers Tre’Von Johnson and Josh Corcoran, tight end Virgil Green and defensive end Patrick Afriyie didn’t practice, per The Athletic’s Daniel Popper. Watkins, who tore his ACL a year ago, did experience some soreness today. Green has a “mild strain” of an undisclosed body part and Adderley is dealing with hamstring soreness, which is an area that he dealt with during the pre-draft process.

The Chargers will have the day off tomorrow and will come back on Thursday for their first joint practice with the Rams.
