Chargers healthy heading into Raiders game
SAN DIEGO (AP)—The Chargers should be as healthy as they’ve been all season when they host the AFC West rival Oakland Raiders on Sunday.
Just three players missed practice on Friday, and coach Norv Turner was hopeful one of them will play against the Raiders.
Inside linebacker Kevin Burnett(notes), though, will miss his second straight game with an ankle injury. He’s listed as doubtful on the injury report after not practicing all week.
Defensive tackle Ogemdi Nwagbuo(notes) was also out with an ankle injury, but Turner was somewhat optimistic he could play. It will be a game-time decision.
Replacing Burnett will be Tim Dobbins(notes), a fourth-year pro who had one of the better days of his career last week. Filling in for Burnett, Dobbins had a team-high 11 tackles and added an interception in a 37-7 win at Kansas City.

Worst case they lose to Denver, Indy, NY and wind up 10-6.
Best case they beat those 3 and wind up 13-3 and win the AFC West.
There are EIGHT AFC teams, IMHO, that have a shot at the playoffs. SIX will go.
Chargers, if they can adjust for the injuries, and ride their usual trend of getting hotter in Nov-Dec, then Jan, can at least make the playoffs.
Yeah, they won't beat Pittsburgh or Indy or even the Bronco's in the postseason, but hey, they will have made the playoffs!
