Awosika is expected to miss time after injuring his fibula during Sunday's game versus the Raiders, Noah Furtado of The Athletic reports.
Awosika hasn't been placed on IR as of Monday, but it sounds likely he'll have to miss at least one game with the injury he picked up in Week 2. Trevor Penning currently projects to step in at guard until Awosika is available again.

Chargers' Kayode Awosika: Questionable to return with forearm injury
Rotowire
Awosika (leg) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Awosika injured his leg in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest. The starting left guard's exit makes the Chargers even thinner on the offensive line after already losing center Tyler Biadasz (knee) for the season. Travis Burke or Trevor Penning will likely finish the game in Awosika's stead.
