SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego Chargers will be without three-fourths of the team's projected starting secondary for a second game in a row on Thursday when they face the Denver Broncos.
Top corner Jason Verrett is done for the year with an ACL left knee injury, while strong safety Jahleel Addae will miss his fourth straight game with a broken clavicle and cornerback Brandon Flowers is out for a third game in a row due to lingering concussion issues.
That makes for tough duty for an inexperienced San Diego defense facing two of the top receivers in the NFL in Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders.
