Nate Gosney· Aug 18, 2026
After Tyler Biadasz's practice injury, Gosney names interior linemen the Chargers could add, suggesting Houston could trade Jarrett Patterson to Los Angeles and calling Buffalo's Austin Corbett an obvious trade candidate for the Bolts.
“With all of these other individuals having a role on this roster, the Texans could look to extract value from Patterson and send him to the Chargers.”
