Good morning. Michael Gehlken of U-T San Diego talked with San Diego Chargers offensive lineman Jeromey Clary about the possibility of making it back for the season opener at Arizona.

Clary, 30, was placed on the active, physically unable to perform (PUP) list at the start of training camp. Clary missed all of the offseason workouts with shoulder and hip surgeries, but he says he is targeting a return to the field in time to play in the opener at Arizona.

“I’m going to push as hard as I possibly can to get there,” he said.

Bill Barnwell of Grantland lists Clary’s four-year, $20 million deal as part of his all-bad contracts team. Clary is set to make $4.4 million in base salary in the final year of the deal this season. Barnwell: “A mess at right tackle in San Diego for years, Clary has repeatedly been defended by the organization as a worthwhile contributor to what has usually been a terrible offensive line. He moved to guard last season after the team drafted D.J. Fluker in the first round, where he wasn’t much better. He’s in the final year of a four-year, $20 million deal; if the Chargers don’t cut him, he’ll be the fourth-highest-paid player on the team.”

Tom Krasovic of U-T San Diego notes that Steve Williams played slot defender during practice in his training camp report.
