Mathews elbow injury (1 Viewer)

Doesn't he have to be put on the injury report? This had to have happened on Friday. How do they get away with that?

According to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune, Ryan Mathews suffered an elbow injury in practice last week, possibly explaining his minor role in Sunday's game against Arizona.

The Chargers listed Mathews as having practiced fully all week, and never made mention of the elbow on their Week 4 injury report. A fine from the NFL could be in the works. As of the 11:30 mark in the third quarter, Mathews had just three carries for 20 yards and a 13-yard catch. Mike Tolbert is dominating the backfield with 15 touches, 99 yards, and a touchdown.

He got carries late, so his lack of involvement can't be blamed on an injury.

Who among you dares to start him next week . . .

The real question is who among us dares to roster him.

Doesn't matter if he played. If he was injured in practice they have to report it. I had a close decision between Mathews and Brandon Jackson this week. I wouldn't have started Mathews had I known he was nicked up.
