Summary

The Chargers had a so-so showing defensively last year, ranking 16th overall. San Diego was a little stronger against the pass, ranking 13th overall. They have some solid corners in Quentin Jammer and Antoine Cason, though. These guys will anchor the secondary once again with Eric Weddle wreaking havoc at safety. The pass defense should be a strength once again for the Chargers. The Chargers lack a little bulk upfront, though, which is why they had some struggles stopping the run last season. The addition of Jarrett Johnston at outside linebacker should help some in that area. San Diego will get middle of the pack sack totals. They have a few guys that will get after the quarterback but lack a dominate pass rusher. Special teams should be improved with Eddie Royal in the mix in the return game. The Chargers clearly missed Darren Sproles last year but the addition of Royal should improve this area.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
The Chargers are just a so-so fantasy defense. They are worth some spot starts but aren't a clear No. 1. Their sack totals are just alright but they will get some interceptions and limit yards against the right opponent.

Notes

San Diego Chargers LB Melvin Ingram (knee) is tentatively expected to undergo reconstruction surgery of his left anterior cruciate ligament next week, a source said. The renowned Dr. James Andrews will perform the operation. Ingram is expected to miss the 2013 season, before returning to the field in 2014 at or near full strength. LB Larry English is the current in-house leader to start in Ingram's place, although the club is looking into free agent possibilities, including free-agent LB Dwight Freeney (Colts).

The San Diego Chargers were expected to have LBs Melvin Ingram (knee) and Jarret Johnson at outside linebacker in Week 1. However, Ingram is likely done for the season, meaning LB Larry English might be in line for a bigger role. The team also has LB Tourek Williams, a sixth-round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, as well as LBs Frank Beltre and Devan Walker on the roster. The team is expected to explore their options in free agency.
