'The reality is you can't let your guard down at any time.' Chargers GM Tom Telesco was optimistic after his team's rookies reported to training camp over the weekend, but he understands things can change at a moment's notice.
COSTA MESA, Calif. — Tom Telesco was optimistic after the Los Angeles Chargers rookies reported to training camp over the weekend without any positive tests for the coronavirus.
“I’m optimistic as a league we can do it. We have two opponents — fighting this virus and whoever our opponent is on Sunday. … We’re not going to eliminate the virus, we know that. We’re trying to minimize the risk as much as we can.” Telesco, who is entering his eighth season as general manager, added that he hasn’t been contacted about any players electing not to play the upcoming season. He also hasn’t had to add anyone yet to the league’s newly created COVID-19 reserve list.
In light of everything else, Telesco would love to avoid a preseason without a holdout, but he said he hasn’t heard anything from Bosa or his agents. Running back Melvin Gordon missed all of training camp and didn’t report until the fourth week of the regular season last year.
