One of the NFL’s most highly regarded safeties will reportedly not be present for his club’s organized team practice activities this week.
San Diego’s Eric Weddle will not take part in the voluntary workouts, Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reported Monday.
A three-time Pro Bowler, the 30-year-old Weddle is in the final year of his contract. He is seeking a new deal.
The Chargers’ OTAs run from Tuesday through Thursday this week as well as June 1-3 and June 8-11. The club’s mandatory offseason minicamp is June 16-June 18. Weddle would be subject to fines if he did not attend the minicamp, but there are no penalties for skipping OTAs.
