Virgil Green

Chargers TE Hunter Henry (knee) did not practice Wednesday. Henry is out for a few weeks. Sigh. The team is "hopeful" that he'll be able to return after he suffered a tibia plateau fracture in Week 1. Adam Schefter reported a 4-6 week absence and Dr. David Chao said, "His season is definitely not over. There are even some new techniques to inject calcium into the fracture area to enhance healing and allow for earlier return." Virgil Green likely runs more routes at tight end, but he's never done much with the opportunity that he's had, although he did average more yards per target last season than Antonio Gates did. The Charger running backs probably benefit the most, with Travis Benjamin and Dontrelle Inman picking up any extra slack.
