San Diego's high-powered offense took a double hit Friday when the Chargers said running back Ladainian Tomlinson and center Nick Hardwick will miss Sunday's game against the Ravens with ankle injuries.

The Chargers' injury report listed eight players this week after a physical, 24-20 win over the Oakland Raiders on Monday night. Also scratched is backup defensive tackle Travis Johnson with a groin injury.

The Ravens said all week that they expected Tomlinson to play. But coach John Harbaugh said the Chargers are well stocked at the position.

"If [Tomlinson doesn't play], Michael Bennett can play," Harbaugh said Friday. "Of course, [Darren] Sproles, everybody has been talking about him all week."

The Chargers also list three players as questionable: guard Louis Vasquez (knee), defensive tackle Jamal Williams (elbow) and linebacker Antwan Applewhite (hamstring).

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
