San Diego Chargers were on the receiving end of some good news about their AFC Championship game against the New England Patriots when their prized running back LaDainian Tomlinson returned to practice.. The Chargers came out victorious in their game against

Tomlinson’s return was a huge boost to Norv Turner. Fellow teammate and quarterback Phillip Rivers suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee. The quarterback is deperately anxious to return for their game against the undefeated Patriots, but his status for the game is questionable. Star tight end Antonio Gates did not practice for an entire week before the recent game against the Colts, and may do the same for the Patriots game. Quarterback Billy Volek could be handed his first start since 2005 after a promising performance by against the Colts .
