COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Brandon Mebane is likely to play for the Los Angeles Chargers this week following the death of his 7-week old daughter.
Mebane had missed five of the past seven games, including last week's wild-card game at Baltimore, to be with his family.
"She wasn't getting better so we had to make a decision," Mebane said before Wednesday's practice. "She kept having bleeds from the stomach, and then when they tried to feed her, it wasn't good for her liver."
Makenna Mebane died on Jan. 3. She was born on Nov. 12 with a defective heart condition.
