Heading into the break has to feel especially rewarding for the teams sporting a good record and sitting atop their respective division. The San Diego Chargers are the only division leader getting some rest this upcoming weekend after earning a 4-1 mark and a first-place tag in the AFC West standings. They have suffered their fair share of injuries through the initial five weeks of the NFL season, however, |

| San Diego, CA (MySportsbook) - The San Diego Chargers placed linebacker Stephen Cooper on the reserve-injured list with a biceps injury and signed veteran linebacker Gerald Hayes on Tuesday. Cooper tried to tough it out, playing in five games on both special teams and defense despite the tear. Finally, it was determined that surgery was the only option for a full recovery. The nine-year veteran had his best seasons from 2007-2009, amassing at least 98 tackles in each campaign. He recorded 108 tackles with two |

SAN DIEGO (AP) - The San Diego Chargers say they will place inside linebacker Stephen Cooper on season-ending injured reserve on Wednesday with a biceps injury. Cooper was hurt in an exhibition game on Aug. 21. Coach Norv Turner originally said Cooper would have surgery, but he ended up playing in the first five games. To take his roster spot, the Chargers signed inside linebacker Gerald Hayes to a one-year contract. Hayes spent his first eight seasons in Arizona. The Chargers (4-1) have their bye this w |

| ton. The 1-4 Broncos are headed into a bye week and head coach John Fox announced Tuesday that Tebow will start October 23 at Miami. Speculation about the change arose after Tebow replaced Orton to begin the second half Sunday in a 29-24 loss to the San Diego Chargers. Orton was just 6-of-13 for 34 yards and an interception in a lackluster first half as the Broncos fell behind 23-10 at the break. Tebow, the No. 25 overall pick in last year's draft, sparked a late rally, running for a 12-yard touchdown and passing |

Backup Tim Tebow, who has a strong base of support among the fans, replaced starter Kyle Orton to begin the second half Sunday in a 29-24 loss to the San Diego Chargers. Fox said Monday that he wouldn't announce his decision on who would be the starting quarterback until after he meets with the team.

DENVER (AP) - Philip Rivers didn't have to be at his best to beat the Denver Broncos. Not with this supporting cast. Ryan Mathews rushed for a career-high 125 yards, Nick Novak connected on five field goals and the San Diego Chargers withstood a furious fourth-quarter comeback led by Tim Tebow to knock off the Broncos 29-24 on Sunday. And this was with Rivers having a very pedestrian day at the office. He threw an interception that was returned for a score and lost a costly fumble late in the game. But |
