During one of the San Diego Chargers practices, wildfires were spread throughout the country of San Diego. Approximately fourty Chargers were asked to leave the practice facility and were listed under the evacuees. Due to the unfortunate circumstances, the team will be forced to practice out in Arizona for the next week or two.
"It was so windy and so ashy and so smelly about midnight that we went ahead and got out of there then," said Rivers, the father of three young girls. He said he heard from Tomlinson and tight end Antonio Gates at about 4:30 a.m. that they were leaving their homes. Wildfires fanned by fierce desert winds forced the evacuations of some 250,000 people in the county.
The team has a game on Sunday and since no one in any of their families were injured in any type of way, they must play their game Sunday against the Houston Texans. They are trying to talk to the owner of the Arizona Cardinals so they may switch bye weeks but Arizona won't agree to it. The Chargers are hosting the Texans this weekend and can't decide where they will play.
