Ryan Mathews out, Philip Rivers probable for Chargers

SAN JOSE, Calif. – San Diego Chargers running back Ryan Mathews will miss a second straight game because of a severely sprained ankle.

Mathews was ruled out for Saturday's game against the San Francisco 49ers on Friday. Mathews did not practice for a second straight week and will miss his ninth game this season.

However, the Chargers will likely have the team’s franchise quarterback. Philip Rivers (back, chest) was a full participant in practice for a second straight day on Friday and is listed as probable on the team’s injury report.

Along with Mathews, receiver Keenan Allen (shoulder, ankle) and punter Mike Scifres (shoulder) also were ruled out.

Defensive tackle Corey Liuget (ankle) and tight end Ladarius Green (concussion, ankle) were full participants for a second straight day and are questionable. Defensive tackle Ryan Carrethers (elbow) also was a full participant and is probable.
