Injury Report: San Diego Chargers at New England Patriots

San Diego Chargers

Out
Luis Castillo, DE (broken tibia)
Jonas Mouton, ILB (shoulder)

Probable
Vincent Brown, WR (hamstring)
Patrick Crayton, WR (ankle)

Not too bad. Brown and Crayton practiced every day this week, so they'll play. I wonder if Crayton's healthy enough to take the slot WR and punt return responsibilities back from Bryan Walters, though. Walters made a lot of mistakes on punt returns (luckily, none of them were huge) against the Vikings.

New England Patriots

Out
Dan Koppen, C (broken fibula)
Mike Wright, DL (concussion)

Questionable
Gary Guyton, LB (hamstring)
Taylor Price, WR (hamstring)
Sebastian Vollmer, OL (back)
Ryan Wendell, OL (calf)

Probable
Josh Barrett, S (thumb)
Leigh Bodden, CB (back)
Dane Fletcher, LB (thumb)
Dan Gronkowski, TE (hamstring)
Jerod Mayo, LB (thigh)

Gronkowski! That's totally their best TE and receiving option. Wait a second.....*does research*.....damn, it's the wrong one! The Patriots have two Gronkowski's? I bet they make them switch jerseys in the middle of the game too. Sneaky Belichick.

Bodden, Fletcher, Vollmer and Mayo are all expected to play big roles in Sunday's game, so it's good to see them a little dinger up.
