Zapped Chargers

Ouchee! Take a looksee at the San Diego Chargers Wednesday injury list. All six of the injured players are Pro Bowlers and key players on the Bolts.

Did Not Participate in Practice

TE Antonio Gates (toe)*
QB Philip Rivers (knee)*
RB LaDainian Tomlinson (knee)*
DT Jamal Williams (team decision)*

Limited Participation in Practice
OLB Shawne Merriman (illness)*

Full Participation in Practice
FB Lorenzo Neal (fibula)*

Can the Chargers really beat the Patriots with even if only two of the guys on the injury list missed the game (with the exception of Neal, who is one of the best at what he does but not really a playmaker)? We may just see...

*starter

Meanwhile the Patriots injury list for today looks pretty clean with only Mel Mitchell (biceps) and Matt Light (Flu) not practicing and Tom Brady and Steven Neal with limited participation.
