Chargers' Max Tuerk: Will get opportunity to earn starting spot

Tuerk will be given a chance to compete for a variety of starting spots along the offensive line, ESPN's Eric D. Williams reports.

Analysis:

Tuerk, now healthy after missing his entire rookie season rehabbing an ACL injury which he sustained at USC, could be a candidate to start at right guard, or even left guard, should the Chargers opt to move on from disappointing free-agent signee Orlando Franklin. The Chargers offensive line as a whole could be in line for a major shakeup come the 2017 NFL Draft, but the team's third-round pick from last season should get every opportunity to earn a starting spot heading into the new year.
