Ryan Mathews did about everything Sunday night but start, pacing the Chargers with 12 carries for 80 yards and his first touchdown of the season. He added a team-high six catches for 59 yards.

“I felt good,” Mathews said. “My line and my fullback and my receivers and tight end, everyone was just doing a good job blocking downfield. It just sucks. You really want to enjoy all that other stuff you do in the game, but it just feels like it's for nothing.”

“Ryan played really well,” Turner said. “He played physical. He played fast. He did a good job when he was in there and with the (pass) protection part. I think he's doing the things we need him to do.”

Jimmy Graham limited by ankle injury

New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham left Sunday night's game against the San Diego Chargers during the second quarter. Graham had his right ankle looked at and taped up by the Saints' training staff late in the second quarter.

Graham didn't play in the final series of the second quarter as he stood on the sideline with his ankle taped and his helmet off. David Thomas took snaps instead. Graham returned in the second half despite being deemed questionable to return.

Graham only had one catch for 4 yards against the Chargers. Graham also left the Saints locker room with a walking boot on his right foot. All interim coach Aaron Kromer said about Graham's injury after the game was, "We'll see."

Chargers coach Norv Turner was coy when asked if RB Jackie Battle is the starter for Sunday night’s game versus the Saints.

“The starter, we’ll find out on the first play of the game,” Turner said before suggesting that Battle and Ryan Mathews would share carries. “One had 14 carries and one had 15 carries (last week), and if we can get that done again, it’ll be outstanding.”

Falcons WR Julio Jones practiced in full on Friday and is probable for Sunday’s game against the Redskins. Jones suffered a cut on his hand in the first quarter against the Chargers in Week 4, which limited his production last Sunday versus the Panthers. But there are no concerns moving forward.
