"Practice has been patchwork for most of the week. The Chargers hope the game will be more fluid, particularly with less moving parts on offense.

It is a virtual certainty that the Chargers will face the Miami Dolphins without cornerback Quentin Jammer and tight end Antonio Gates, both of whom were listed as doubtful on Friday's injury report after not practicing all week due to their respective hamstring and foot injuries.

But the Chargers will have wide receivers Malcom Floyd (groin) and Vincent Jackson (abdomen), who were listed as questionable, and running back Ryan Mathews (foot), who is probable after all three practiced full on Friday."
