Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh reveals timeline for offensive line decision between two veteran linemen. It's the most important job for any team that has a talent at quarterback, like the Los Angeles Chargers have: protect the quarterback.

At Thursday's media availability, head coach Jim Harbaugh highlighted 12 "ascending" players. Out of the crop, eight of them are newcomers to the Chargers, so it's encouraging to know that they are getting acclimated to the system and getting the attention of Harbaugh and the rest of the coaching staff.
