So, for the sake of my own sanity, I've decided to go ahead and post the practice participation reports for Thursday and Friday but skip Wednesday. Why? Because half the team usually sits out on Wednesday practices. I don't think Shawne Merriman has practiced on a Wednesday all year, and I don't think Jamal Williams has made a Wednesday practice in 5 years. However, if I were to post them every Wednesday there would still be people convinced that the people missing Wednesday practice were seriously injured and I'd have to explain the situation over and over again.
Anyways, you'll find the practice participation report for Wednesday and Thursday after the jump. Charger players that have missed both days of practice include Jacob Hester (shoulder), Merriman (foot), Legedu Naanee (foot) and Eric Weddle (knee). Those last three are all guys that have nagging injuries that could use some rest, so they're probably getting the entire week off to do just that.
One thing I do like seeing is that Norv is not letting up off the gas completely, and neither are the players. Guys like Travis Johnson and Kevin Burnett have nagging injuries, but after resting on Wednesday they're out there on Thursday and practicing like this were any other week. That's a great way to keep the winning streak going. Not having Albert Haynesworth or LaRon Landry on the field on Sunday is another way to keep the winning streak alive.
