## Resource

The Chargers’ cornerback depth is dangerously thin after losing Nikko Reed to the Giants and trading away Avery Smith, leaving them scrambling for reliable backups as their defensive scheme demands flexibility. With starters holding strong but key contributors like Kaiir Elam underperforming and Rodney Shelley barely seeing snaps, the team’s ability to weather injuries or matchups hinges on unproven reserves — a glaring weakness as the season heats up.
