Chargers' Jim Harbaugh Leaves Trevor Penning's Status Unclear for Steelers Game
The Los Angeles Chargers recently traded for Trevor Penning to strengthen their offensive line before facing the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, his availability for the upcoming Sunday night match remains uncertain.
Head coach Jim Harbaugh admitted the team has yet to decide whether Penning will play, noting the decision depends on how he looks during the week of practice.
"Trevor Penning’s status for the Steelers game is to be determined," Harbaugh said. "We’re excited to get him on the field and see what we’ve got. We love his versatility and toughness. The week of practice will show where he fits best."
The Chargers have coped with multiple injuries to key offensive linemen this season. Rashawn Slater has been sidelined for some time, while Joe Alt was recently placed on injured reserve. Penning’s adaptability to multiple positions could help offset these losses.
