Daiyan Henley Questionable with the Flu

Chargers LB Daiyan Henley is questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos because of an illness he played through in Monday night's win over the Raiders. He missed practice Wednesday and Friday with a limited workout in between.

What They're Saying

HC Jim Harbaugh: "He's still working through it."

Harbaugh after the Monday night game: "We elevated another linebacker because we just didn't know [if he would play]. Had a fever, but he started playing and the medicine was out there on the field."

Henley on playing that game: "Pretty tough, not going to lie. I cried in the second quarter. I felt terrible. I had my teammates next to me making sure I was staying in it, giving my all."

Henley played every snap of that game, which makes it a little surprising that he's still questionable for this week.

I'd guess he'll play, but we'll obviously have to watch his status into Sunday. The 4:05 ET start challenges our lineups a bit, so try to make sure you have a late-game insurance option if Henley's in your IDP plans.

The Chargers will miss S Elijah Molden (hamstring) in the game. CB Cam Hart (hip) is questionable.
