Chargers Deane Leonard Not at Practice, Secondary Concerns Still Remain

The 24-year-old corner is still a no-show in practice.

The Los Angeles Chargers have suffered their fair share of injuries this season, and they could be missing a critical defensive back in their must-win Week 14 matchup. 

Chargers defensive back Deane Leonard misses another practice on Thursday and is in danger of missing Sunday's must-win game against the Denver Broncos. 

Keenan Allen and Khalil Mack both back at practice today after rest days yesterday. Did not see Deane Leonard, who is dealing with an ankle/heel injury.

Leonard is dealing with an ankle/heel injury. He missed three games earlier this season as he dealt with a hamstring injury. Leonard has dealt with injuries all season long, and hopefully, he will be fine for this upcoming Sunday. 

In nine games this season, he's recorded 26 total tackles, one tackle for loss, and three passes defended. 

Tomorrow will be a true tell on whether Deane will be available for Week 14. With the Bolts facing down the passing attack of the Broncos, they will need all the secondary help they can get. 

Beating the Broncos is even more important if the Chargers are to hang onto their small 10% chance of making the playoffs. The good news is that the defense has been one of the shining aspects of this team, and they will be instrumental in allowing the Bolts to win out.
