Chargers QB Philip Rivers practices ahead of game vs. Chiefs
San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers practiced this week in advance of the team's season-ending game against the Chiefs in Kansas City on Sunday, according to multiple reports.
Rivers reportedly has been playing with a bulging disk in his back. He was also believed to have been dealing with a rib ailment, but was listed on the injury report with chest and back injuries.
In last Saturday's win over the San Francisco 49ers, Rivers threw for 356 yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions.
Over 15 games this season, the 33-year-old has completed 67 percent of his pass attempts for 3,995 yards, 31 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. Rivers' active streak of 142 consecutive starts is the second longest in the league behind Eli Manning of the New York Giants.
The Chargers (9-6) can clinch a spot in the AFC playoffs with a win over the Chiefs.
