Philip Rivers says Chargers can win without Jackson, McNeill

If the San Diego Chargers don't have wide receiver Vincent Jackson and offensive tackle Marcus McNeill this season, they'll win without them.

That's the approach that quarterback Philip Rivers is taking when it comes to the Chargers' top wide receiver and offensive tackle, both of whom are involved in contract disputes and not expected to report for quite some time.

“Those are two key guys on our offense,” Rivers said. "I don’t think there’s any way you can say we’re not better with them. We want to have them. But at the same time, can you still get it done without them? The answer is ‘Yes.’  ..

"“We can only control what we can control. The biggest thing that can be a negative in the next four weeks is if guys get caught up in talking about when Marcus or Vincent or (Shawne) Merriman is coming every day. It’s the only thing that can keep us from having a great training camp.”
