An MRI performed on the knee of Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson reportedly has revealed that his four snaps in the AFC title game did further damage to a previously-injured MCL. Tomlinson says that he'll now need six more weeks to heal. He won't be playing in the Pro Bowl. "The Pro Bowl is not a concern," he said. "After not playing in the championship game, the Pro Bowl is the least of my concerns.” Tomlinson also addressed the criticism he received for leaving the January 20 game against the Patriots after only two series. "That's part of being in my position,” he said. "That's what the world does. It builds you up. Then when things don't go like people think they should, the criticism starts. This was clearly the worst I've been through. But it just confirms what I already knew. I've seen other guys go through it."
