Injuries allow Chargers ILB Siler to carve out role
Coming into the season, the Chargers were concerned about what kind of production they'd get from the inside linebacker spot next to Stephen Cooper. Their worries were calmed when free-agent pickup Kevin Burnett started the year strong, but when ...

Tucker, Jyles (LB)
The Chargers have placed Tucker on the injured reserve list, meaning he's finished for the season.
Tucker suffered an ankle injury in a win at the New York Giants two weeks ago. He appeared in seven games as a reserve and was inactive for two others. Tucker was given a five-year contract before the 2008 season despite having played in only six career regular-season games.

Merriman, Shawne (LB)
Reality TV star Tila Tequila is suing Merriman in a filing alleging domestic violence. Attorney Cyrus Nownejad told The Associated Press that Tequila is seeking $1.5 million in damages.
Merriman was arrested on Sept. 6 after Tequila signed a citizen's arrest warrant accusing him of battery and false imprisonment at his suburban home. District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis declined to charge Merriman. Merriman told the AP in an e-mail that he hadn't seen a copy of the suit. His attorney didn't immediately return a call seeking comment Tuesday.

Jackson, Vincent (WR)
Jackson had one catch for 10 yards in the Chargers' 31-23 win over Philadelphia on Sunday.
It was a surprising hurdle in Jackson's rise to fantasy stardom, and he could be shadowed by Denver's Champ Bailey on Sunday. But Jackson is still a great fantasy option regardless of matchup, considering he ranks sixth in the NFL in receiving yards.

Tomlinson, LaDainian (RB)
Tomlinson ran for a season-high 96 yards and scored twice to help the Chargers beat the Philadelphia Eagles 31-23 to pull into a tie atop the AFC West with the slumping Broncos.
Tomlinson's season has been mostly a disappointment, but he proved he still has some gas left in the tank. He could be primed for another big week Sunday as the Chargers visit Denver, which has struggled badly against the run during its three-game losing streak.
