Chargers Have Injury Issues
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: January 15, 2008
SAN DIEGO - The euphoria of the Chargers' stunning win against the defending Super Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts was replaced by reality Monday.
While two-time NFL rushing champion LaDainian Tomlinson said he should be able to play in Sunday's AFC Championship Game, the Chargers know QB Philip Rivers will be gimpy with a sprained right knee if he's able to play against the undefeated New England Patriots.
Rivers was listed as questionable. He injured his medial collateral ligament when he landed awkwardly after completing a 56-yard screen pass to Darren Sproles for a touchdown on the final play of the third quarter in Sunday's 28-24 upset of the Colts.
Coach Norv Turner compared Rivers' situation with that of TE Antonio Gates. Gates dislocated his left big toe in a wild-card win against Tennessee, sat out practice all week and then played against the Colts.
