Philip Rivers has flu-like symptoms, still likely to play vs. Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs will not be getting a Philip Rivers who is 100 percent on Sunday. Per the San Diego Union-Tribune, the Chargers have called up a quarterback from the practice squad as Rivers has flu-like symptoms.

BUT Rivers is still expected to play.

Likely precaution. Philip Rivers has flu-like symptoms. Pretty severe but expected to make his 157th straight start. https://t.co/I2YQfHt5GC
