SAN DIEGO (AP) -Seven San Diego Chargers players missed practice on Thursday, including running back LaDainian Tomlinson, outside linebacker Shawne Merriman and rookie right guard Louis Vasquez.
That total doesn’t include center Nick Hardwick, who had surgery on his left ankle on Wednesday and is expected to be out the next eight weeks.
Coach Norv Turner said it’s tougher to get players ready for Sunday’s game if they miss the Thursday practice.
Turner said the team will see if Merriman (groin) and Vasquez (knee) can practice Friday. But he wasn’t as optimistic about Tomlinson, who sprained his right ankle in the opener and missed last Sunday’s home loss to Baltimore.
The Chargers host the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
