Jason Verrett's staggering accumulation of injuries over the past several years could have shaken anyone's resolve to stick with football.

Youth Malik Jefferson Jersey , the Chargers' once-dominant cornerback is determined to get his game right back to where it was two seasons ago.
Verrett participated in a full practice during Los Angeles' minicamp Wednesday for the first time since last September, when he eventually lost a

He played in only six games as a rookie, but made an interception in Oakland despite tearing his labrum again earlier in the game. He made the Pro Bowl in
his second season with the Chargers, missing a mere two games with injuries.
