San Diego Chargers right tackle D.J. Fluker missed practice on Thursday after suffering a concussion on Wednesday.

“D.J. came in after practice yesterday with concussion-like symptoms,” Chargers head coach Mike McCoy told ESPN's Eric Williams. “The doctors evaluated him. So we’ll hold him out and evaluate him on a day-to-day basis until he’s cleared by our doctors or an independent physician moving forward.” 

A first round pick in 2013 (11th overall), Fluker will need to pass through concussion protocol before he can return to the field.
