San Diego Chargers Injury Report

Player Injury Wed Thu Fri Status
WR Eddie Royal Toe DNP DNP DNP Questionable
T Jeromey Clary Hand LP LP FP Probable
LB Thomas Keiser Elbow FP FP FP Probable
DT Sean Lissemore Shoulder FP FP LP Probable
RB Ryan Mathews Ankle DNP DNP LP Probable
CB Shareece Wright Foot DNP LP FP Probable

It should come as no surprise to many of you that as the Chargers players have gotten healthier as a team, they've started playing better. It's already been broken down before that the marked improvement of the defense has been a combination of players coming back from injury and John Pagano scheming better.

The biggest concern this week was the status of Ryan Mathews. He missed a few plays last week and was seen in a walking boot. He only practiced once this week, and was limited in practice, but is listed as probable. So his ankle injury doesn't seem to be anything serious.

Aside from that, it looks like the Chargers are at full strength (excluding those players on IR).

Kansas City Chiefs Injury Report

Player Injury Wed Thu Fri Status
WR Dwayne Bowe Concussion - DNP DNP Out
LB Tamba Hali Knee DNP DNP DNP Out
T Branden Albert Knee FP FP FP Probable
T Eric Fisher Shoulder FP FP FP Probable
LB Justin Houston Elbow FP FP FP Probable
LB James-Michael Johnson Shoulder FP FP FP Probable
CB Ron Parker Ankle / Shoulder FP FP FP Probable
T Donald Stephenson Knee FP FP FP Probable
K Ryan Succop Rt. Groin FP FP FP Probable

The Chiefs are going to be without Dwayne Bow and Tamba Hali this week. All other players were full participants and listed as probable. Their being out doesn't seem to be as much concern because Andy Reid has already said he'll mix starters and backups and I imagine that by the second half, neither of those guys would ever see the field the rest of the game.
