AFC Notes: Chargers, Chiefs, Jaguars

Chargers

Chargers HC Brandon Staley has been impressed with third-round WR Josh Palmerโ€˜s progress this year.

โ€œSince the second he got drafted and came here, he showed a real thirst for his game, a real hunger to work at his game,โ€ Staley said, via NFL.com. โ€œHeโ€™s one of these guys thatโ€™s here early getting into his routine, from a stretching standpoint, a warm-up standpoint. Then itโ€™s after practice. Heโ€™s got his post-practice routine on the JUGS Machine and working on releases.โ€

  • Chargersโ€™ TE Donald Parham posted an encouraging message along with a thumbs up on his social media accounts following his scary injury on Thursday night against the Chiefs.
  • Adam Schefter notes that Parham will soon return home from the hospital after being diagnosed with a concussion.

Chiefs

  • According to Aaron Wilson, the Chiefs brought in K Elliot Fry and K Sam Sloman for workouts. They ultimately signed Fry to their practice squad. 

Jaguars

Ian Rapoport recently questioned if Patriotsโ€™ OC Josh McDaniels would want the Jaguarsโ€™ head coaching job in the future.

โ€œI think a better question is, is this a job Josh McDaniels would want? As he goes into this process now, that should be the question every time,โ€ Rapoport said on Gresh and Keefe. โ€œItโ€™s a weird year for head-coach candidates. I wouldnโ€™t say thereโ€™s a lot of great candidates. This will probably be more of a year for the retreads, former head coaches than anything else โ€” Dan Quinn, Doug Peterson, and Vance Joseph. I think those guys will be kind of hotter than some of the younger guys, but obviously, Josh is in that category. Itโ€™s just you do have Trevor Lawrence, who I think is going to be good, but honestly, watching him this year you really donโ€™t know. Then you have an owner who has not covered himself in glory over his 10 years, or whatever it is in the NFL. [McDaniels] needs to make sure to look for a good, stable properly operating franchise, and I donโ€™t know if this is one that he would want.โ€

  • During a recent appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, Daniel Jeremiah said that former Jaguarsโ€™ HC Urban Meyer approached the situation with โ€œa tremendous amount of arroganceโ€ and alleges that this is eventually what led to his downfall.
