San Diego’s veterans strapped on their helmets for the first time in months at this week’s OTAs.

The Chargers saw plenty of turnover this offseason, inking seven outside free agents and drafting five rookies (in addition to signing 20-plus undrafted rookies). This newly assembled squad practiced together for the first time at Chargers Park on Tuesday, May 26, and SDBR’s photographer, Shana Siler, was there to take in the action.

Enjoy some incredible shots of the action in the gallery below. We’ll have another gallery of pictures from OTAs posted later on this week. If you want more photos without waiting, check out this rookie camp photo gallery.
