Tomlinson

Denver’s rush defense looks improved this year, so week three will be a good test for LT2.

“My groin is OK,’' Tomlinson said. “But at times when I got hit or stretched it out the wrong way, it bothered me a little bit. Hopefully, by just resting it a little bit, it won’t give me a problem the next game.’'

They’ll return to practice later in the week and will be ready to play in week seven. Tomlinson and Chatman are listed as probable.

Tomlinson, listed as probable with a groin injury, should fully practice Thursday and will start in week six.

Don’t expect LT2 to practice much this week or anytime soon. Considering he leads the AFC in total yards, we’re not too concerned.

Tomlinson is expected to play on Sunday and is listed as probable on the injury report. He’s likely to miss early week practices for much of this season.

The Chargers look doubtful to sit LT2 this week, despite the team’s impending bye.

Only rest will help the issue and the Chargers are two weeks away from their bye. “I’m going to continue to try and play through it,” Tomlinson said. “As long as I’m walking and can run a little bit, I’m going to keep playing.” While LT2’s snaps could be lessened, you can’t remove him from fantasy lineups.

His yards-per-carry would certainly supporty their case, as would the lack of trademarks cuts Tomlinson is used to making. But LT2 has learned how to be a workhorse and play through the groin troubles. We still wouldn’t rather have anyone for the fantasy playoffs.

A good sign that his groin is improving. We’ll know for sure after watching him play the Raiders on Sunday.
