Injury Report: San Diego Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs

by John Gennaro on Oct 31, 2011 9:12 AM PDT in San Diego Chargers News

Out
Luis Castillo, DE (Tibia)
Kris Dielman, LG (Concussion)
Shaun Phillips, OLB (Foot)

Doubtful
Mike Tolbert, RB (Hamstring, Hand)

Questionable
Malcom Floyd, WR (Hip)
Darrell Stuckey, S (Groin)

Probable
Antonio Gates, TE (Foot)
Jacob Hester, RB (Foot)
Ryan Mathews, RB (Thumb)
Marcus McNeill, LT (Neck)
Scott Mruczkowski, C/G (Neck)

To recap, the Chargers have weaknesses on the left side of the line, the running game, the passing game and the pass rush due to injury.

After the break, we'll look at the Chiefs injury report.

Kansas City Chiefs

Probable
Kendrick Lewis, S (Ankle)

No, this isn't unfinished. The Chargers are beaten to hell and have to fly to Kansas City a week after flying cross-country to play the Jets. The Chiefs, after losing three of their best and youngest stars early in the season, are now incredibly healthy with the players that are left.

So, in addition to the Chiefs having one of the best home-field advantages in football, Kansas City will be heading into this game much healthier and with more momentum than the Bolts.

It's OK everyone.

Rivers is playing.

Dielman on Rivers: "I've tried to get him to say s--- or f--- and all he'll ever do is say, 'Golly gee, I can't do that."

Which Rivers?

The current Rivers doen’t give me a whole lot of confidence. he has played poorly so far this year. I just have had this gut feeling the last several games that he will throw a pick and give the game away. Hope we see the “old” rivers insted of the “new” rivers. And, our defense couldn’t stop a drunk protitute from picking up a first down. They need to shut down kc’ running game.

Drunk Prostitute > Adrian Peterson?

They get the runs

from drinking cheap wine.

Except for missing three of their best young stars for the season

the chiefs are incredibly healthy.

by JeromeB on Oct 31, 2011 12:10 PM PDT reply actions

They were last year too

One of the healthiest in the league. One of the reasons that they were a surprise team last year.

by Ferguson1015 on Oct 31, 2011 12:41 PM PDT up reply actions

I was being a little bit of a smart ass about it.

I actually think the Chiefs have been hurt by injuries this season as much or more than the Chargers have. Every team has injuries and bad calls, the good teams overcome them.

OLB looking pretty, pretty thin

Did I miss a signing? We really running LaBoy and Barnes all game?

Well as Norv said

“A lot of guys started as a Gamble.” Maybe he will impress, although I suspect he might have been able to crack the line-up by now if he was great.

by Ferguson1015 on Oct 31, 2011 1:15 PM PDT up reply actions

Did Norv say it like that?

Who says Norv doesn’t have a sense of humor?

I guess technically it was

“There were a number of guys who were Gamble when they got here."

Allegedly the Dolphins put Wake up for trade

and the Chargers did nothing. I don’t understand why they didn’t try to make a trade for someone who can play OLB this year. Maybe next draft they will get someone who can stay on the field. It is Shaun Phillips and a bunch of other guys.

by glamisdave on Oct 31, 2011 1:26 PM PDT up reply actions

Trade deadline ended the day Palmer was signed

At that time there was a rosy outlook for English.

by Ferguson1015 on Oct 31, 2011 1:27 PM PDT up reply actions

Has there ever been a true "Rosy outlook" for English, besides draft day?

by glamisdave on Oct 31, 2011 1:33 PM PDT up reply actions

Fair enough

I meant that he had just come off of his 2 sack game against the Dolphins, plus the organization still had hope for him.

by Ferguson1015 on Oct 31, 2011 1:54 PM PDT up reply actions

For the record

I think it is possible that they still might, but I’m pretty sure most of the fans have given up on him (Including me).

by Ferguson1015 on Oct 31, 2011 1:54 PM PDT up reply actions

They must have been asking for a lot for nobody to make a deal for him.

It's a good thing Vasquez has been coming along this year

But I do not have any faith in anyone outside of Mruczkowski and even that is shaky. For the first time this season, I think that Rivers will get into a rhythm and do well this day. Here’s to crossing our fingers and hoping for the best.

They're pretty high on Tyronne Green aren't they?

"The biggest thing..." - Norv Turner

by Cake or Death on Oct 31, 2011 12:55 PM PDT up reply actions

Yeah,

And so far I haven’t seen any justification for it in games. I don’t mean to say that he is terrible, but I just don’t have any faith in him performing very well. Hopefully he will prove that feeling false when he does go in (even if it is for a Jumbo play or something) and I can be just as high on him as the Coaches are.

So is Mooch starting at LG tonight?

For some reason I thought it was supposed to be Green.

by Cake or Death on Oct 31, 2011 1:00 PM PDT up reply actions

According to Acee

Greene will start at LG tonight. Dombrowski better be ready too, in case MM can’t finish. I think they signed that T Schilling this week for depth in case he is needed. Mooch got hurt last week as well and I don’t think he is 100%.
