Chargers RB Tomlinson not to play against Dolphins on Sunday

After missing last Sunday’s home-opening loss to the Baltimore Ravens, the San Diego Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson is ruled out for a second straight game at home because of an injury he got in season-opening win against the Oakland Raiders.

“It’s hard because you’d like to have all your guys,” Coach Norv Turner said Friday. “It’s crazy, because on Sept. 1, when people were asking me what I thought about camp, I said it was great that we were healthy and had all our guys, because that’s something we haven’t had in a while.”

The Chargers will play against the Miami Dolphins this Sunday, and Darren Sproles will start instead of L. T. Sproles, who also returns kickoffs and punts, has 524 all-purpose yards in two games.

According to Turner, L.T. is getting better and will likely return to field next week or no later than the end of Chargers’ by week after playing against the Pittsburgh on Oct. 4.
