The Chargers are likely to start four rookie offensive linemen alongside RG Cole Strange in front of QB Justin Herbert on Sunday against the Broncos: LT Logan Taylor, LG Jake Slaughter, C Jacob Spomer and RT Travis Burke. LG Kayode Awosika (fibula), Trey Pipkins III (knee), RT Joe Alt (neck) and reserve guard Trevor Penning (concussion) are all out, and LT Rashawn Slater was placed on injured reserve after undergoing surgery for a high-ankle sprain. Herbert has been sacked 12 times and pressured nearly 70 times in four games. “I think they’re built for it [and] prepared for it,” Herbert said of the young linemen.
