Versatile defensive-back Richard Marshall filled in for Shareece Wright.
The Chargers drafted Shareece Wright in the 3rd round of the 2011 NFL Draft out of the University of Southern California (USC).
Hopefully for the Chargers it isn’t an MCL sprain, as they cannot afford another injury to their battered defense. The Chargers have already lost starting inside-linebacker Manti Te’o for several weeks with a fractured foot and outside-linebacker Melvin Ingram is on injured reserve with a designation to return with a hip injury and can’t return till week 11.
1st-Round pick Jason Verrett was out today with a hamstring injury that he suffered at the end of last weeks game against the Buffalo Bills.
With Shareece Wright possibly out expect Jason Verrett to take over at left cornerback when he is healthy. Expect Steve Williams or Richard Marshall to start at left cornerback for now until Verrett is deemed healthy to start.
