San Diego Chargers kicker Nate Kaeding played in nearly five full games with a fractured lower left leg, including hitting four field goals in Sunday's loss to New England in the AFC championship game.A person familiar with the situation confirmed the injury to The Associated Press on Friday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the team hasn't acknowledged the extent of the injury.

It is another example of how the team either hid injuries or gave conflicting information in the closing weeks of the season and the playoffs.

Wow, my goodness. Those Chargers are a double-tough bunch. Well, at most positions, anyway.

I suppose this is a slam at LT.

Yeah, yeah, and an uncalled for one. Sorry, I was feeling ornery. It's just, you hear this and think about Rivers did, and it's hard NOT to feel the urge to get a little dig in against Tomlinson. In reality, though, he was not running well and playing Turner was best for the team. I do realize that.
