  Chargers | Manti Te'o out    Sat Sep 7, 03:46 PM

San Diego Chargers LB Manti Te'o (foot) will be out for Week 1. LB Bront Bird will start in his place.

Footballguys view: No surprise here. Te'o is likely out for a few more weeks as he deals with this foot injury. He missed most of training camp and the preseason so the team will bring him along slowly when he's ready to return.

  Chargers | Manti Te'o unlikely to be ready    Tue Sep 3, 01:59 PM

San Diego Chargers LB Manti Te'o (foot) is unlikely to be ready for the team's Week 1 game Monday, Sept. 9, and LB Bront Bird is expected to fill in for Te'o. Te'o has missed three weeks of practice and played in only a couple of series in a preseason game.

Footballguys view: We'd be shocked if Te'o was on the field on Monday night. The team will continue to be cautious with him as he comes back. Foot injuries are known to linger if not given enough time to properly heal.
