Pro Bowl linebacker Shawne Merriman appeared set to start Monday night when the AFC West champion San Diego Chargers host the Denver Broncos after missing last week's game with a sprained left knee. "I've been doing pretty much everything the whole week," Merriman said Saturday after practice. "I feel good; I'm moving around good; and I'm expecting to play." Merriman rested the knee during last week's win over the Lions but said he was out of sorts watching instead of playing. "It drove me nuts," said Merriman, who leads the team with 11? sacks and was recently named to his third Pro Bowl. "I didn't know what to do. But hopefully I won't be sitting this week because I've been practicing all week." Merriman's one concession to his injury will be a knee brace.
