Verrett suffered a season-ending knee injury for a second straight year in the season opener against the Denver Broncos, missing 15 games in 2017.
A first-round selection by the Chargers in the 2014 draft, the TCU product has missed 39 games in four seasons.
However, Verrett appeared to be moving well while competing in 7-on-7 drills during organized team activities last week, and the Chargers are hopeful he can make a successful return to the field.
In fact, Verrett’s close friend safety Jahleel Addae is counting on that for the TCU product, who is scheduled to make $8.526 million in the final year of his rookie deal.
“He’s a competitor,” Addae said about Verrett. “When you make a Pro Bowl in your second year, your confidence is up and you feel you can be the best in the league at your position.
“To me, he still can. He’s ready. He’ll be out there this season, and you’ll see glimpses of what he can do.”
Even with Verrett missing all but one game of last season due to a second procedure required for his surgically repaired knee, the Chargers still performed well in the secondary.
The Bolts finished with 18 interceptions (tied for sixth in the NFL) and allowed just 197 passing yards a contest (No. 3 in the league) in 2017.
Oakland Raiders receiver Amari Cooper is the only player to finish with at least 100 receiving yards against the Chargers last season (3 catches for 115 receiving yards in the final game of the year).
