TRISTAN VIZCAINO
Good to go for Week 2 Vizcaino (illness) practiced fully Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Limited at practice Vizcaino (illness) was limited at practice Thursday.
Impact Friday's injury report will reveal whether Vizcaino's Week 2 availability is in any question. He's currently the only kicker on the Chargers' roster, active or practice squad.

Perfect in first start Vizcaino made both of his field-goal attempts as well as his only two extra-point attempts in Sunday's 20-16 win over Washington.
Impact Vizcaino didn't attempt a field goal longer than 33 yards, but given the kicking troubles in the past for Los Angeles, any game that's perfect from a kicking perspective is a big one. Vizcaino should be poised for a possible big outing with the Chargers offense taking on a putrid Cowboys defense in Week 2.

Wins job over Badgley Vizcaino won a job battle with Michael Badgley, who was cut by the Chargers on Tuesday, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Vizcaino thus figures to enter Week 1 as the team's kicker, attached to an ascending offense led by QB Justin Herbert, WR Keenan Allen and RB Austin Ekeler, along with a revamped offensive line that got three high-profile additions in the offseason. However, Vizcaino has just one NFL appearance to his name, and fantasy mangers aren't wrong to be wary of an untested kicker in a Chargers uniform. A Week 1 trip to Washington isn't appealing, but Vizcaino could enter streaming consideration for potential shootouts in Week 2 (vs. DAL), Week 3 (at KC) and Week 4 (vs. LV). Of course, he's one or two bad games away from losing his job, and the Chargers may even keep a kicker on the practice squad.
