The Chargers are dangerously thin at tight end just days before their first game.
The team announced Ladarius Green -- the second-stringer pegged to fill in for suspended star Antonio Gates -- suffered a potential concussion in Thursday's practice. His status for Week 1 is now in question.
Also questionable is the the Chargers' depth chart at tight end. They re-signed John Phillips just days after his release. The other tight ends on the roster are David Johnson and Kyle Miller.
