Chargers wonder where's Duane now
San Diego Chargers still search for running back Duane Thomas 17 days after acquiring him from Dallas. Coach Harland Svare calls the trade a gamble while declining to reveal Thomas’s whereabouts or plans to report to training camp. Thomas last popped up Aug. 3 for a private talk, then vanished after Aug. 4 when federal marshals escorted him from a Dallas‑bound plane.
