Okung (illness) will not play Week 1 against the Colts, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.
Changers general manager Tom Telesco ruled out his starting left tackle for the regular-season opener, adding that he'll have a better update on Okung's health status in a few weeks. It sounds like the 31-year-old will miss time beyond Week 1 as he continues his recovery from a pulmonary embolism caused by blood clots. This is a noteworthy downgrade for the entire Los Angeles offense, with Okung coming off back-to-back seasons with a PFF grade in the top 15 among tackles. His likely replacement, second-year pro Trent Scott, played 125 snaps on offense last season as an undrafted rookie out of FCS Grambling State.
