DENVER -- Linebacker Al Wilson, defensive lineman Courtney
Brown, cornerback Darrent Williams and running back Mike Anderson
will all sit out of Denver's regular-season finale in San Diego
this weekend to nurse injuries.
Wilson had surgery Monday to repair a broken right thumb. Brown
has a sore knee and sore shoulder. Williams has missed the last two
weeks with an injured groin. Anderson sprained his ankle last
Saturday against the Raiders.
"With Mike Anderson, if it was a playoff game, he'd be able to
play, but not at 100 percent," coach Mike Shanahan said Tuesday.
Shanahan has the luxury of resting starters because Saturday's
game against San Diego means nothing in the standings to either
team. Denver (12-3) has secured the second seed in the AFC and
can't move up. San Diego (9-6) has been eliminated from playoff
contention.
