Chargers at Broncos Injury Report for the AFC Divisional Playoffs

Chargers at Broncos injury report: Chargers RB Ryan Mathews is questionable. Broncos DL Derek Wolfe is out.

Justin Edmonds

San Diego Chargers running back Ryan Mathews missed all week of practice, but the Chargers have officially listed the Bronco-killer as questionable.

While technically this means Mathews has a 50-50 chance of playing, sources told UT-San Diego that "the plan" is for Mathews to play.

Mathews had two of his best games this season against the Broncos, rushing for an average of 93 yards in the contests and gaining two of his three best grades from ProFootballFocus.com all season against Denver. It's safe to say he's the most interesting player on the Chargers-Broncos injury report; Broncos fans are hoping he can't go, and Chargers fans are hoping he can.

Chargers offensive linemen D.J. Fluker and Nick Hardwick are also listed as questionable, as well as our old friend wide receiver Eddie Royal, who missed all of practice this week with a toe injury.

For the Broncos, all players are listed probable except Derek Wolfe, who has been ruled out.
