Mathews leaves early in Chargers win Insists he'll play this week against Denver By: Mike Krueger | Jan 6 2014, 8:00 am
Ryan Mathews did what he could Sunday.
An ankle injury that's slowed him the past two weeks could be played on for so long. He was out most of the second half. Late, the Chargers had to turn to Ronnie Brown. “My mindset is I'm playing,” said Mathews, who praised the work of the team's running backs. “We keep fighting. Coach (Mike) McCoy says it all the time. It's the next man up. We're all ready.” (San Diego Union Tribune)
FFToday's Take:Mathews wasn't 100% yesterday and was absent from the field the majority of the second half. He'll likely be limited in practice this week and be a risky play in fantasy playoffs against the Broncos.
