Kirby Lee / USA TODAY Sports

An NFL spokesman poured cold water on the rumor that the league is considering moving the Chargers back to San Diego.

"There is no discussion of returning to San Diego from the league or the club," Joe Lockhart said Tuesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Chargers have drawn sparse crowds in their first three games since moving to Los Angeles. Playing at the 27,000-seat StubHub Center in Carson, Calif., the Chargers have placed tarps over unsold sections and taken the field in front of crowds dominated by fans of visiting teams.

Philadelphia Eagles tackle Jason Peters joked that the Chargers will play "16 away games" this season.

The Chargers are one of four 0-4 teams in the league.
