San Diego Chargers WR Vincent Jackson (calf) practiced Thursday and Friday and is expected to return for Sunday’s game against Kansas City. Jackson stated his strained calf is still bothering him, but it looks like he’ll return after missing just one game. He’s a very high-risk play this week, and we would be hesitant to [...]

San Diego Chargers WR Vincent Jackson (calf) will miss at least the next two weeks, according to NBC’s Andrea Kremer. Kremer also mentioned that Jackson hurt his groin in practice last week, so the calf strain likely resulted from overcompensating for the groin injury. It’s looking highly unlikely Jackson will be making an impact in [...]

San Diego Chargers WR Vincent Jackson left Sunday’s game against Indianapolis during the first quarter with a calf injury and did not return. Jackson lasted just three plays before leaving with the injury. Lower body injuries are always a concern for players coming off of holdouts (i.e. Darrelle Revis), so this isn’t exactly surprising. The [...]

San Diego Chargers WR Patrick Crayton suffered a dislocated wrist during Monday’s win over Denver and is out indefinitely. Crayton will undergo more tests, but his season is likely over. Crayton was about to become an afterthought in the Chargers’ offense anyway, with Vincent Jackson set to return in Week 12. Crayton performed well in [...]

San Diego Chargers RB Ryan Mathews (ankle) and TE Antonio Gates (foot) are not expected to play Monday night against Denver. Gates has a better shot of suiting up than Mathews, although Gates stated his foot has not shown any improvement, despite the team’s Week 10 bye. WR Malcom Floyd was limited during Friday’s practice [...]

San Diego Chargers TE Antonio Gates (foot) is inactive for Sunday’s game against Houston. Gates has a Week 10 bye to heal up, although the injury is obviously pretty severe given that Gates has never missed a game due to injury in his career before today. Upgrade Patrick Crayton, as he will most likely see [...]

San Diego Chargers TE Antonio Gates (foot) missed practice again Friday and is expected to be a game-time decision for Sunday’s game against Houston. Luckily, the Chargers have a 1PM ET start this week, so at least owners will know prior to setting lineups whether or not Gates will be active. While most expected Gates [...]

The Buffalo Bills have been awarded LB Shawne Merriman off waivers from the San Diego Chargers. So let’s get this straight; the Bills switch from a 3-4 defense to a 4-3 two weeks ago, make 2009 first-round pick OLB Aaron Maybin a healthy scratch the last two weeks, then acquire Merriman, who is a 3-4 [...]

San Diego Chargers TE Antonio Gates suffered a torn plantar fascia in his right foot during Sunday’s loss to New England. Gates has been dealing with a toe injury in his left foot, so now he has ailments in both feet. Plantar fascia tears are fairly serious and quite painful injuries, so Gates’ status for [...]

The San Diego Chargers have waived LB Shawne Merriman and placed WR Craig “Buster” Davis (groin) on injured reserve. The player formally known as “Lights Out” is sure to garner interest around the league due to what he once was. It won’t take teams long to figure out he’s just a shell of his former [...]
