Chargers to rest several players

Jan 02, 2010

Billy Volek is expected to get his most extensive playing time in two years when the red-hot San Diego Chargers host the Washington Redskins in a meaningless regular-season finale Sunday.

The AFC West champion Chargers (12-3), who have won 10 straight games, have nothing to gain except to avoid any more injuries. They've already clinched the AFC's No. 2 playoff seed and a first-round bye.

Coach Norv Turner said Rivers will start and then make way for Volek at some point.

"I want to see Billy get some good opportunities," Turner said.

Saquon Barkley has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Chicago Bears, the Giants announced.

The sensational running back was helped off the field on the first play of the second quarter. Barkley ripped off his helmet, writhing in pain on the Bears sideline, grabbing at his right knee after a six-yard run to open the quarter. Teammates helped the running back across to the field to the Giants bench. Barkley couldn't put pressure on his right leg.

The RB was carted to the locker room. Barkley punched the cart as he was driven off, perhaps indicating the severity of the injury, the story said. The team stated that Barkley had been taken in for X-rays on his knee and would undergo further testing Monday. If Barkley has to miss time, Gallman could see early down work with Lewis taking over his usual passing-down role.

The Indianapolis Colts may have suffered another serious injury on offense, as wide receiver Parris Campbell was carted off the field in the first quarter during the Colts' Week 2 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Campbell took a handoff from Philip Rivers, and was met by Vikings safety Harrison Smith, who hit him hard low around his left knee. Campbell immediately grabbed at his knee and remained on the ground. He had to be carted off the field. The Colts ruled him questionable to return. Campbell was likely a popular pickup in your league this week, now leaving owners scrambling once again. Pittman could see an uptick in snaps if Campbell does miss time.
