Gaither expected to start tonight for chargers
It appears that for the second time in three games the Chargers will play an offensive lineman who has been with the team for just a few days.
This time, Jared Gaither is set to start at left tackle on Monday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He is expected to work there in place of Brandyn Dombrowski, who did not practice this week due to a foot injury. Dombrowski has started the past two games in place of Marcus McNeill, who was placed on injured reserve this week due to ongoing neck issues. Gaither was claimed off waivers Wednesday and practiced for the first time with the Chargers on Thursday. He was released by the Kansas City Chiefs on Tuesday. Gaither is the third addition to the offensive line in three weeks. Tony Moll and Ike Ndukwe were signed prior to the team's Nov. 20 game at Chicago. Moll ended up playing 15 snaps against the Bears after Scott Mruczkowski suffered a concussion. Moll started at right guard last week against Denver. The Chargers had also worked Tyronne Green at left tackle in practice but evidently feel better having Green at left guard. Green took over the starting job at left guard after Kris Dielman suffered a concussion Oct. 23 against the New York Jets that eventually landed him on injured reserve. But Green has missed the past two games with a hand injury. Right guard Louis Vasquez also returns this week after missing two games due to an ankle injury. |

Draft implications dictate that I must root for JAX.

Pioli cut him most likely on the recommendation of Haley. I would guess because Mims was getting interest from other clubs and also because Gaither couldn't even beat out Richardson. Its a team cluster if it was wrong.
