SAN DIEGO - The San Diego Chargers suffered yet another debilitating injury to an impact player on Sunday, with defensive tackle Brandon Mebane suffering a torn biceps injury that will end his season. Mike Adams Youth Jersey .The Chargers signed Mebane to a three-year, $13.5 million deal during the offseason after he spent his first nine seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. The 31-year-old Mebane was voted a defensive co-captain in his first year with the Chargers.The run-stuffing nose tackle served as an important addition for San Diego, improving the defenses ability to stop the run. Mebane registered 21 combined tackles, a sack and an interception and played 327 snaps through 10 games.The Chargers are holding teams to 87.4 rushing yards per game, No. 6 in the league. Last season, the Chargers allowed nearly 5 yards a carry, second worst in the NFL. This year, San Diego has allowed 3.9 yards per rush, tied for No. 9.With Mebane out, the Chargers likely will turn to backup?Damion Square to fill the void, and could look to promote Ryan Carrethers from the practice squad to the active roster.Mebane joins a long list of impact players San Diego has lost for the season, including Stevie Johnson, Keenan Allen, Danny Woodhead, Branden Oliver, Manti Teo and Jason Verrett.According to ESPN Stats & Information, the Chargers have placed 20 players on injured reserve this season. Only the Seahawks have placed more (21). Andrew Luck Jersey . Once again Jordan Cieciwa (@FitCityJordan) and I (@LynchOnSports) go head to head in our picks.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Colin Kaepernick is on track to make his first appearance of the preseason for San Francisco on Friday night against the Green Bay Packers after his tired shoulder made it through a full week of practice without any limitations.Everything has been going great, Kaepernick said Wednesday. Everything has been going as planned. Im excited to get back out there Friday.Coach Chip Kelly said Kaepernick looked good in practice this week and is expected to play barring any setbacks before the game. Kelly said no decision has been made on whether Kaepernick or Blaine Gabbert will start against Green Bay but Kelly said earlier this month that he planned to give both quarterbacks competing for the starting job a chance to play with the first-team offense in the preseason.Kelly said the final decision on who will start and who will play wont be made until after consulting with the teams head of sports medicine Jeff Ferguson on Friday.Kaepernick, who lost his starting job to Gabbert last season, has had limited practice time. He missed the offseason program after undergoing surgery during the offseason on his non-throwing shoulder, right thumb and left knee. He resumed practice at the start of training camp but was not able to throw in practice from Aug. 11 to Aug. 22 because of a tired right shoulder.But Kaepernick believes he still has a legitimate shot to win back his starting job.Im going to go out and show everything I can these next two games to make sure I put my best foot forward to show this organization, this team, this coaching staff what Im capable of, he said.Kelly said Kaepernick has had no limitations this week in practice and is quickly getting up to speed with the offense.Hes been sharp with all the things mentally, Kelly said. Theres always a little bit -- when you take some time off from the physical standpoint -- there may be a ball that was behind from a timing standpoint,, but theres no indecision where he doesnt know where hes going. T.Y. Hilton Jersey. Its been a rough stretch for Kaepernick, whose career has plummeted since leading the Niners to the Super Bowl following the 2012 season and the NFC championship game the following year.He lost his starting job last season, dealt with various injuries and was nearly traded to Denver in the offseason. When asked about the state of his relationship with general manager Trent Baalke, Kaepernick would only call it a business relationship. Kaepernick also declined to describe a recent conversation between the two as good, saying only, We had a conversation.The time off has given Gabbert a leg up in the competition. He took all the first-team practice snaps in the offseason and again while Kaepernick rested his shoulder earlier this month.Gabbert has also taken all the first-team snaps in the first two preseason games, going 10 for 19 for 132 yards and one touchdown for a 92.4 passer rating. He has thrown no interceptions and taken no sacks.Gabbert is back to splitting time with Kaepernick for now.You just have to make the most of your opportunity, he said. Rather than getting eight reps a period, you get four with the ones, four with the twos. ... Each rep is a piece of gold. You have to cherish that and make the most of that opportunity.Game notes First-round DL DeForest Buckner has practiced fully this week after sitting out last weeks preseason game with a lower-body injury. Kelly said Buckners status will be determined Friday. ... Kelly said Anthony Davis will get time at right guard in the game if hes comfortable there. The former right tackle has been getting time at guard with Trent Brown entrenched for now as the starting tackle.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
