Final Update: The Chargers have dropped their final injury report of the regular season and they’ve immediately ruled out two players in running back Omarion Hampton and cornerback Nikko Reed.

Two players were named doubtful in offensive lineman Jamaree Salyer and safety Elijah Molden.

There’s a handful of questionable players as well in center Bradley Bozeman, running back Hassan Haskins, safety RJ Mickens, cornerback Benjamin St-Juste, and running back Kimani Vidal.

Thursday Update: The Chargers injury report from Thursday grew by one name a safety Elijah Molden was added with a hamstring injury that limited him in practice.

Keenan Allen, one of the veteran who took a rest day on Wednesday, returned to practice and informed the media that he will be playing on Sunday in an attempt to reach several incentives in his contract.

Running back Kimani Vidal (neck) improved from limited to a full participant on Thursday which is a great sign following an always-scary injury.

As far as players working their way back, safety R.J. Mickens once limited once again with a shoulder injury that kept himout of last week’s loss to the Texans.

The Chargers had their first practice of Week 18 on Wednesday and it came with a massive injury report that featured the names of 14 players.

With the expectation that a number of starters will sit in the season finale with the postseason clinched, veterans Keenan Allen, Khalil Mack, Derwin James, and Justin Herbert were all given the day off. Despite sitting this week, I’d expect to see them get some form of work in during the week either on Thursday or Friday.
