Chargers' Jim Harbaugh Leaves Trevor Penning's Status Unclear For Steelers Game
The Chargers acquired Trevor Penning via trade prior to their matchup against the Steelers to strengthen their offensive line. However, it remains uncertain if he will play in Sunday night’s game.
Despite several injuries to key players, including both starting offensive tackles, the Chargers have managed to secure wins. Rashawn Slater has been out for some time, and Joe Alt recently suffered an injury that placed him on injured reserve.
Penning, who is versatile and capable of playing multiple positions, was added to help fill these gaps. Yet, it is still too soon to know if he will be ready to suit up against the Steelers.

Harbaugh expressed excitement about bringing Penning onto the field and praised his familiar traits:
- Good, tough player
- Strong finishing ability
- Extensive football experience
- Versatility, with potential to play tackle
He added,
“That’s what the week of practice will be for, to figure out exactly where Trevor fits in best.”
Despite the uncertainty, Harbaugh remains optimistic about the team's depth and Penning’s potential impact.
Author's summary: The Chargers hope Trevor Penning can fill critical offensive line roles, but head coach Jim Harbaugh says his availability for the Steelers game is still undecided.
