AFC West Notes: Chargers, Chiefs, Raiders

Chargers

  • There was some concern that the Chargers could be without CB Trevor Williams for an extended period of time, but Jack Wang reports that Williams avoided a high-ankle sprain and play in the preseason at some point.

Chiefs

Chiefs second-year QB Patrick Mahomes has thrown a number of interceptions during training camp up to this point, but HC Andy Reid isn’t concerned about the turnovers.

“I told you at the beginning of camp I don’t care about all that stuff,” Reid said, via Adam Teicher of ESPN.com. “I want him to test the offense … If you don’t have the intestinal fortitude to go test it you’re going to be one of those quarterbacks who checks it down every time. That’s not what it’s all about. The great thing about Pat is that he never makes the same mistake twice. It doesn’t happen … When he does make a mistake he comes back and he can talk to you about it. He’s done nothing but get better and better as we go and he’s got a load on him here.

Raiders

  • Michael Gehlken mentions that Raiders veteran WR Jordy Nelson is moving like he’s 28, running polished routes, developing timing with QB Derek Carr and has been an off-field leader for the team.
