Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen (non-injury) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 8.
| Footballguys view: Allen gets some rest during the week because he's a seasoned veteran who knows what he's doing. The Chargers travel to try and upset the Patriots on Sunday night in the Wild Card Round. |

Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jan. 8.
| Footballguys view: That's two DNPs for Hampton before the Wild Card Round. It doesn't give us confidence that he'll be able to play against the Patriots on Sunday night. Circle back to see if he can get out there on Friday, even if he's limited. The Chargers will turn to Kimani Vidal if Hampton can't play. |
Los Angeles Chargers TE Tucker Fisk (ankle) was designated to return from the Reserve/Injured list Wednesday, Jan. 7.

Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (hand) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Jan. 7.
| Footballguys view: Herbert missed Week 18 against the Broncos, but the team was shutting him down to get some extra rest for the playoffs. With a win over the Patriots on Sunday night, the Chargers would go back to Denver to play - this time with Herbert. |

Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Jan. 7.
| Footballguys view: Allen is a seasoned veteran who doesn't need every practice rep. He'll be out there Sunday night as the Chargers try to get past the Patriots in the Wild Card Round. |

Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday, Jan. 7
| Footballguys view: Hampton needs some extra rest before the Wild Card Round. He's the centerpiece of their rushing attack, but the Chargers rested Hampton last week against the Broncos. We'll see if he can be ready to play against the Patriots on Sunday night. |
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert was hit 129 during the regular season, most in the NFL. 'He has to be the most insanely mentally tough dude of all time,' teammate LB Khalil Mack said. He was pressured on 42.8 percent of his 615 dropbacks, the highest rate in the league, according to TruMedia. He was hit on 21 percent of those dropbacks, while he was sacked 54 times. Herbert set a career high with 439 scramble yards this season.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers lost both of their starting tackles this year, and that's why Herbert is the most-hit quarterback in the league. During the playoffs, attacking Herbert will be a plan for opponents and he'll have to play through the pressure. The Chargers have what it takes to win a Super Bowl, and better protection for Herbert would help get them there. |

Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (hand) will not start the Week 18 game, according to head coach Jim Harbaugh.
| Footballguys view: With the Chargers locked into a playoff spot and playing for nothing but seeding in their regular-season finale against the Broncos, Herbert will not take the field. His surgically-repaired left hand hasn't been a huge issue, but it's wise to give the QB a week off heading into the postseason. Trey Lance will get the start. It's also worth noting that Harbaugh said other starters with "the most bruises" and need "the most healing" won't play. We'll be watching for more on that, while reminding you that RB Kimani Vidal sat out last week with a neck injury. |
