The Chargers’ second day of training camp in pads went two hours — the longest of the summer — but starting right guard Jamaree Salyer did not last until the end.
Salyer went down during a two-minute drill and briefly stayed on the field before standing and walking into the facility. He did not return and there was no word on the injury or its extent, but it did not appear to be serious since he was able to walk off.
Jordan McFadden, a 2023 fifth-round draft pick out of Clemson, is listed as his backup on the team’s depth chart.
Other than that, offensive coordinator Greg Roman seemed pleased.
“The first two days of pads saw great work,” Roman said. “There is always a process involved in that. We are working all together as a team and getting good work done. We should just keep progressing along those lines. I can’t say enough about how the guys are dialed in and focused. I think we are right on schedule.”

Some other takeaways from Monday:
Jaret Patterson opening eyes
Coach Jim Harbaugh has promised to feature the run game this season and that was also a feature of practice Tuesday. On this day, it also featured Jaret Patterson.
The Chargers signed him to the practice squad in September and the new coaching staff is very impressed by the running back.
Patterson had some notable plays during a nine-on-seven drill, even earning him a high-five and a smile from Harbaugh.
For Roman, Patterson has stood out from Day 1.
“Then you try to find a crack, a flaw, something, and there’s nothing there,” Roman said. “He belongs. He’s got a great chance to compete. I can’t say enough about him. I’m excited to see how that moves and progresses.”
