Mathews inactive for Chargers
The following players are inactive for the Chargers:
- RB Ryan Mathews
- LB Larry English
- LB Stephen Cooper
- DT Cam Thomas
- OT Adam Terry
- DE Vaughn Martin
- LB Jyles Tucker
- 3rd QB: J.T. O’Sullivan
Mathews is out because of the high ankle sprain he got in last week’s game. His absence will change the dynamic of the Chargers’ running game, as 245-pound Mike Tolbert gets the start. That will create quite the counterpunch when the Chargers go to Darren Sproles, who is 5-9, 190. Tolbert ran for 82 yards and a pair of short touchdowns last week after Mathews was injured.
