With several injuries along the offensive line for the San Diego Chargers, the tight ends and running backs might be asked to block more in Week 11 against the Chicago Bears. 'They're real active,' RB Ryan Mathews said Thursday, Nov. 17. 'That's going to be a big part (for) us running backs is helping out our linemen a little bit.'
