Chargers' Jim Harbaugh Leaves Trevor Penning's Status Unclear for Steelers Game

The Chargers acquired Trevor Penning via trade to strengthen their offensive line before facing the Steelers, but it remains uncertain if he will play Sunday night. Head Coach Jim Harbaugh stated yesterday that Penning’s availability is still "to be determined."

Despite dealing with significant injuries, including losses of both starting offensive tackles, the Chargers have managed to keep winning. Rashawn Slater has been out for some time, and Joe Alt was recently placed on injured reserve.

Penning, who is capable of playing multiple positions on the line, was brought in as a versatile option. Harbaugh expressed enthusiasm about integrating him into the team, noting familiar qualities and toughness in Penning’s style of play.

“I feel like we’ve got good players. Enough good, tough [players], which we liked about him. Finishes, played a lot of football. I think he’s kind of like what we like. Love the versatility, but also the ability to play tackle. That’s what the week of practice will be for, to figure out exactly where Trevor fits in best.”

Harbaugh emphasized that the upcoming practice week will determine the best role for Penning with the Chargers.

Author’s summary: The Chargers added Trevor Penning to support their injury-hit offensive line, but Coach Harbaugh remains uncertain if he will play against the Steelers, awaiting practice to decide his role.
