Te’o’s teammates shared their thoughts.

Manti Te’o on teammates: “Just because I’m not going to be (in uniform) doesn’t mean I won’t be there with them.”

The Chargers and Te’o fear that the linebacker has a torn Achilles in which he would be forced to miss the rest of the year. Te’o was a second round pick of the Chargers back in 2013.

He had his best season has a pro last season where he recorded 82 tackles. There were high hopes for the linebacker this season and looks like the injury bug continues to bite the team in the butt.
