January 5, 2009 The San Diego-Union Tribune states Michael Bennett will likely see more action this weekend against the Steelers with LaDainian Tomlinson battling a severely strained groin.
Our View:If Tomlinson does not play, Bennett would serve as the primary backup behind Darren Sproles, who carried the Chargers' offense in last weekend's overtime win over the Colts.
January 2, 2009 Chargers running back Michael Bennett is being sued, along with former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and current Rams tackle Anthony Davis, according to the Tampa Tribune. A man is suing each because he alleges the two assaulted him, breaking his jaw, and that Bennett showed him his holstered gun.
Our View:The suit alleges Davis was inebriated at the International House of Pancakes (IHOP - who the gentleman is also suing), and was using profanity before hitting the gentleman in the head with a wooden chair and then punching him, breaking his jaw. Davis was then knocked out by the man, who promptly left.
December 4, 2008 Chargers inactives: QB Charlie Whitehurst (3rd), RB Michael Bennett, RB Billy Latsko, FB Mike Tolbert, G Kynan Forney, T Corey Clark, FB Kris Wilson, LB Marques Harris.
Our View:CB Antonio Cromartie is active and will play. The Chargers aren't missing anyone with much fantasy value.
November 30, 2008 Chargers inactives: QB Charlie Whitehurst, FS Paul Oliver, RB Michael Bennett, FB Mike Tolbert, G Kris Dielman, T Corey Clark, TE Kris Wilson, OLB Antwan Applewhite.
Our View:Defensive end Luis Castillo (groin) and cornerback Antonio Cromartie (hip) are active and will start. On offense, Jacob Hester should see additional playing time in place of Mike Tolbert, who is inactive with a shoulder injury.
November 23, 2008 Chargers inactives: QB Charlie Whitehurst (3rd), CB Cletis Gordon, RB Michael Bennett, G Kynan Forney, OT Corey Clark, FB Kris Wilson, DE Luis Castillo, DT Ian Scott.
Our View:No key players are listed as inactives for the Chargers this week.
