Fonoti

Fonoti reportedly was approaching 400 pounds this offseason. San Diego is now missing two starters on the offensive line, somthing LT2 owners can’t be happy about.

If he can keep his weight under control, Fonoti is known as a great run blocker.

Dan Buenning and Jeb Terry have seen the bulk of first-team guard reps.

The mammoth-sized run blocker had been nursing a sprained ankle.

He’s doubtful for this week. Kris Dielman will start in his place.

''The expectation (is) he will play,’' coach Marty Schottenheimer said.

His surgically repaired right hand is not healing as quickly as initially thought and he could miss several more games.

The Chargers offensive line didn’t miss a beat without him against the Patriots. Kris Dielman started for him last week.

It’s a seventh-round pick that could be upgraded to a sixth-rounder if certain conditions are met. Fonoti was a quality starter last season, but has struggled with attitude and injury problems in his contract year. He may not be ready to play yet because of an injured finger.

According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Fonoti is unlikely to play for the Chargers again whether or not he is traded.
