well I think the Chargers win the injury battle going into the game. Vincent hurts. I don't think Adams would be able to much against LT. Greer is good but lacks Vincent's experience.

Shawne Merriman is a WR? Since when??

Can they tell how long a migraine will last? If Merriman can't play that is huge. He is a big part of their pass rush.

According to Bills Daily, Merriman has a wrist injury. At least they have figured out he's a linebacker. Also, according to BillsDaily, Vincent (and Greg Jerman) sound as if it's more likely than not that they'll play. The only real iffy ones are Adams and McGee, both game time decisions.

I though Baker filled in for Vincent against KC?

McGee's absence is not a good thing.

And did an admirable job. Yes, McGee will be missed, but probably more on the return game than in the defense. San Diego's wideouts are not their most serious threat on offence. LT and Antonio Gates are their major offensive weapons.

McGee was questionable with the same hamstring last week, so unless it got worse from the KC game I would expect him to play again.

I shot an email off to ESPN asking about the huge discrepancies.
