Blogged under Bloglockers, The Draft Report, Front Page, Injury Reports, General by admin on Sunday 25 April 2010 at 12:05 pm

The Chargers have picked linebacker Donald Butler with the 79th overall pick (3rd round) of the NFL Draft.  Butler is a big guy at 6′1″, 244 pounds and he can play either outside or inside doing whatever the Chargers need him to.  Butler played in 12 games (all starts) for Washington last season and he finished up with 94 tackles, 15.5 tackles for a loss, he had 1 sack, broke up 2 passes and he intercepted 2 passes.  In his four years in college, Butler played in 43 games (27 starts) in which he made 239 tackles, 27 tackles for a loss, he had 3 sacks, broke up 5 passes and he had 2 interceptions.  This was a excellent pick for the Chargers as Butler can play either inside or outside and he will be a special teams ace from day #1.

UPDATE:  (8/31/2010) - The Chargers have placed Donald Butler on I.R. with a torn Achilles tendon.

The Chargers have lost starting center Scott Mruczkowski for the rest of the year due to a ankle injury.  He played in 14 games (13 starts) for the Chargers this season.  It was his first as a starting player for the Chargers as he has played in 58 games (15 starts) in his career with them.  28-year old Nick Hardwick will take over as the starting center the rest of this season for the Chargers.  He has played in 1 game (1 start) for the Chargers this season.  He has now played in 69 games (all starts) in his six years with the Chargers.  Hardwick should do a decent job for the Chargers.
