i'm sure this was posted in the other lt thread, but since it's the latest news i figured i'd put it here. pulled from mfl's player page...

(KFFL) Mike Sullivan, of the North County Times, reports San Diego Chargers RB LaDainian Tomlinson (toe) probably will test his toe before the team's Week 2 game to see how it feels before deciding to play, but he likely will play in the game.

Would I be stupid for starting Bush over LT this week, given the toe injury and all?

 

[Spike]

With the Chargers facing the chance of starting 0-2, I would have to think Tomlinson's toe would have to be incredibly painful for him to not play.

 

[lefteye]

Is there any chance he doesn't play this week? The Chargers are 0-1 and I doubt their interested in being 0-2. Add to that it's an AFC opponent and I logically can't see him sit if there's any chance he plays.

 

[Ballstein]

It is a risk in starting LT. If the toe is bothering him in the 2nd Q, your screwed. He only practiced 1/2 on Fri. Something aint right. Turf toe injuries are always played down, and may become more serious than expected.

He sat in the playoffs and I didnt think he would do that. Granted not the same injury but...

Just to be clear, I think this is pure speculation on the reporter's part. Everything that has come out of LT's mouth is that he will play. Now, I'm not saying the reporter's speculation is unwarranted; he's probably right, insofar as just about every player with an injury "tests" it before deciding whether or not to play. But the insight that we have into LT's mindset as of now is that he will go.

This is NOT a WDIS thread, it's for injuries please lets keep it that way.

Since he is a late game I am putting him at Flex so that I can replace him with a RB or WR if he cant go.

John Clayton said he is a "go"

John Clayton said he is a "go"

A go, but may be limited in his runs.

A go, but may be limited in his runs.

Is that a quote?

ESPN's John Clayton reports that LaDainian Tomlinson (turf toe) "is a go" for Sunday's afternoon game at Denver.Tomlinson practiced fully on Friday. He was listed as questionable, but Clayton has been beating the drum that he'll play. Clayton is good at what he does, so we've got to trust him here. Make sure to check this afternoon (the Chargers and Broncos don't start until 4:15ET), but LT2 should be in lineups. You can't beat the matchup and you didn't draft Tomlinson to sit him.

Similar to what he said. Basically Clayton is saying that the toe may limit LT's runs.

The word was that he took half his normal reps on Friday..... maybe he fully practiced for half the time?

 

[The Shizzle]

Anyone think Sproles is worth a play?

 

[jurrassic]

I might bench him for Chris Johnson. I don't the limited snaps.

 

[shims3]

How can people bench their #1 pick when he is a "go"? You are just overthinking...if LT is a go, he will play. The Chargers need him in this key divisional game.

:X

 

[BusterTBronco]

My understanding of turf toe is that it's pretty difficult to play with. I'm sure that LT wants to play today and I'm sure the Chargers will give him that chance. Would not be surprised at all to see LT get a few carries and then spend the rest of the game on the bench. As an LT owner, I have a bad feeling about this game. Am seriously thinking of benching him.

 

[nyGIANTSnj]

Started LT instead of takin a shot on Chris Johnson. I have a bad feeling about this game...atleast score a td and i'm happy

Thanks for the update. Keep us posted on how it goes for you

No need for sarcasm, fanatic. His tip on putting LT at Flex might be of value to some other LT owners who have not been paying close attention.

 

[gorf]

i try to think of it this way -- if you have him projected to score 20 points in your scoring system, and you think there's a 75% chance that he plays, then you ought to sit him if you have someone else you can plug in who you have projected to score at least 15 points. if you think there's a 90% chance that he plays, you keep him in unless you have someone else that you have projected to score 18 points. etc, etc, etc.

Chargers inactives: QB Charlie Whitehurst (3rd), CB DeJuan Tribble, LB Anthony Waters, C Nick Hardwick, G Kynan Forney, T Marcus McNeill, FB Kris Brown, DT Brandon McKinney.

Analysis: RB LaDainian Tomlinson is active and will start against the Broncos, but he’ll run behind a line that’s missing Hardwick and McNeill. TE Antonio Gates is also active, as expected.
