SAN DIEGO (AP) β Chargers running back Ryan Mathews missed practice Friday and is questionable for Sunday’s game with the Denver Broncos.
Mathews, who injured his ankle in Sunday’s loss to the New England Patriots, hasn’t practiced this week.
Mathews’ availability is among the keys for San Diego (8-5) as it tries to avoid a season sweep by the visiting Broncos (10-3).
With a win, the Chargers retain at least the AFC’s No. 6 seed for the playoffs.
If the Broncos prevail, Denver clinches its fourth straight AFC West title.
