It appears San Diego might be without left tackle Jared Gaither (groin), defensive end Corey Liuget (hamstring) and linebacker Antwan Barnes (leg). They were not practicing Friday once again.
UPDATE: Gaither and Liguet are questionable on the injury report. Barnes is listed as doubtful.
As expected, Denver guard Chris Kuper (ankle) and cornerback Tracy Porter (illness) are out for Sunday’s game at Carolina. They didn’t practice all week. Kuper was hurt Sunday at Cincinnati, and this will be Porter’s fourth straight game he has missed because of complications after having a seizure in August.
Kansas City defensive end Glenn Dorsey remained out Friday with a calf. He is not expected to play Monday night at Pittsburgh. Left tackle Branden Albert remained limited with a back injury.
We’ll have an update on Oakland later Friday. But running back Darren McFadden is expected to be out with a high ankle sprain. He missed practice all week.
