Chad Pennington, who has started all 20 games during Tony Sparano's tenure as head coach, tore the capsule in his throwing shoulder on a hit in the third- quarter of last Sunday's 23-13 loss to the San Diego Chargers - the same shoulder he has had surgically-repaired on two prior occasions - and will miss the remainder of the season. That places the immediate spotlight on Henne, who has thrown 31 meaningful NFL passes, 19 of which came in the second half of the |

| (MySportsbook) - Both the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Diego Chargers will be hoping to avoid a repeat of recent history when the two top-tier AFC teams renew acquaintances in a primetime clash this Sunday from Heinz Field. The reigning world champion Steelers have lost back-to-back games since opening defense of their Super Bowl title with an overtime victory over Tennessee in Week 1. That undesired start has begun to evoke unwanted memories of 2006, a year in which Pittsburgh dropped six of its first eight co |

| San Diego, CA (MySportsbook) - San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman is questionable for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh due to a groin injury, while running back LaDainian Tomlinson is expected to return after missing the last two games. Merriman missed Wednesday's practice, was limited on Thursday and was a full participant on Friday. He played in last week's game, although he didn't record a tackle in the contest; Merriman has six tackles with no sacks or forced fumbles on the season. Tomlinson missed t |

Now, with Pittsburgh (1-2) facing a pivotal game Sunday against the San Diego Chargers (2-1), the Steelers want to see if Mendenhall is getting the message before they give him the ball. Even if Willie Parker's big toe injury might leave them with no other option other than Mendenhall and third-down back Mewelde Moore. ``We're here |

Tomlinson sprained the ankle and sat out the next two games, a home loss to Baltimore and a home victory over Miami. He's aiming to return to the field for Sunday night's contest at Pittsburgh. Before this season, Tomlinson had missed just one contest in his NFL career. The 5-foot-10 running back h |

SAN DIEGO (AP) -LaDainian Tomlinson was back at practice for the first time since spraining his right ankle during the season opener, an encouraging sign for a San Diego Chargers team that's struggled to run the ball. Tomlinson said Wednesday that he hopes he can play in Sunday night's game at Pittsburgh, where the Chargers haven't won since shocking the Steelers in the AFC championship game following the 1994 season. Tomlinson missed the last two games with the ankle injury, an absence that coincided with |

CHARGERS: The San Diego Chargers would be 3-0 right now if they could find a way to score in the red zone. The Chargers would probably be perfect if they were healthy, too. Over their last 11 trips inside the opponents' 20-yard line, they have come away with only one touchdown. But |

Pittsburgh has lost back-to-back games for the first time since December 9-16, 2007. The club is also showing shades of what happened in 2006, when it opened a Super Bowl title defense with three losses in a row following a Week 1 win. The Steelers went just 8-8 that season and missed out on the playoffs. Things won't get easier this Sunday night, when Pittsburgh hosts the 2-1 San Diego Chargers. |

PITTSBURGH (AP) -Steelers receiver Limas Sweed may have dropped his way onto the bench. Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin says he may deactivate Sweed, the team's second-round pick last year, for Sunday night's game against the San Diego Chargers (2-1). ``Absolutely,'' Tomlin said at his Tuesday news conference when asked if he was considering benching Sweed in favor of veteran Shaun McDonald. Sweed had one catch for 5 yards and dropped a pass in the end zone in the third quarter on Sunday as the Steelers fel |
