The San Diego Chargers' struggling aerial attack might be short-handed Thursday night against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs. The team went through its final practice Wednesday, with wide receivers Robert Meachem and Eddie Royal not participating. Both are battling hamstring issues, and if they can't go Thursday, two of the team's top three wide receivers would be out. Royal, who also returns punts, didn't play in Sunday's loss at Cleveland.

So little reason remains outside of direct rooting interest to tune into this game, yet the quality of the game hasn’t been anywhere as terrible as it could or deserves to be.
