“There’s a purpose why we went and acquired this man, due to the fact we believe in him,” Staley stated. “Just due to the fact it has not started off, you know, in a Hollywood manner doesn’t mean it’s not going to conclude that way.”

Jackson was lifted in favor of Michael Davis after two obvious misplays and a pass interference penalty.

The Chargers’ protection performed drastically better immediately after the move, limiting the Broncos to a few points, five very first downs and 72 total yards soon after halftime.

But Staley, reiterating that tolerance is a necessity in Jackson’s condition, said he continues to be dedicated to receiving the 2021 Professional Bowler “in a consolation zone.”

I assume it’s just us acquiring him in as very good a rhythm as probable. The exercise time, the assembly time — the consistency of that.

“As you guys know, it was disrupted (because of his surgical course of action) at the commencing of the year. I think that has prompted a setback in terms of his development inside our workforce and having him participating in his recreation inside our team.

“There’s just a whole lot of tiny items that go into that. But we’re heading to make confident we have a terrific 7 days of exercise starting up [Wednesday] and get him to the activity feeling his greatest.”
