SAN DIEGO (AP) The San Diego Chargers should have their top
two receivers back for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville
Jaguars.
David Boston, who served a one-game suspension last week for
conduct detrimental to the team, went through another practice
Thursday with no setbacks. Before being suspended, he had been
slowed by a bruised heel.
And Tim Dwight, who missed last week's game with a strained
knee, also practiced for the second straight day.
But Eric Parker, another wide receiver, has an inner-ear
infection that kept him out of practice.
``It just depends on how he responds,'' coach Marty
Schottenheimer said of Parker's availability for Sunday. ``This
could go away in 12 hours, 24 hours or 48 hours. I think he will be
ready for the game.''
The news wasn't as encouraging along the offensive line.
Right tackle Solomon Page didn't practice again because of a
sprained ankle. Schottenheimer didn't sound optimistic about him
playing Sunday. If he can't go, he would be replaced by undrafted
rookie Phil Bogle.
Others not expected to play are tight ends Josh Norman
(hamstring) and Stephen Alexander (groin), wide receiver Reche
Caldwell (wrist) and right tackle Vaughn Parker (knee).
