Chargers K Nate Kaeding is fully recovered from his torn left ACL. The North County Times clarifies that Kaeding suffered "multiple ligament tears," so his injury appears to have been more extensive than a routine ACL. The tears happened in Kaeding's non-kicking leg. Though Nick Novak was terrific in Kaeding's stead last season, it's expected that he'll get his kicking job back.
