LaDainian Tomlinson Expected to Return Sunday After Missing Two Games

LT also practiced Friday as well.

Tomlinson has been out since spraining his ankle during the Chargers’ Week 1 victory over the Raiders.

Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports:

Acee later tweeted that he thinks Tomlinson will play this week, since the Chargers seemed unwilling to even have him practice until he was fully healed. We’ll keep you updated on any developments with LT up to kickoff this Sunday.

Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Times reports:

As noted previously, Tomlinson has not practiced since injuring his ankle on September 14th. The Chargers have been mum about any progress - or lack thereof - in his status.

Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Times reports that LaDainian Tomlinson sat out practice again on Friday. LT appears to be a lock to miss the Chargers’ Week 3 game against the Dolphins.

Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Times reports:

Darren Sproles is a must-start against the Dolphins. And at this point, LT owners should be getting more than a little nervous – the Chargers have been awfully mum about their onetime franchise back, and it’s entirely conceivable that when he does return, he could find himself in a strict timeshare with Sproles if the diminutive Kansas State product continues to excel. We’ll keep you posted on any updates.

With LT likely out, the backfield will consist of Darren Sproles and Michael Bennett. Earlier in the week, Turner said he can’t have Sproles keep taking big hits like he did against Oakland, and wanted Bennett to get some work. Either back could be the fantasy beneficiary of LT’s absence, the problem is choosing the right one.
