Chargers running back Ryan Mathews is scheduled for a post-op evaluation on MOnday, a key checkpoint in tracking his shoulder's response to treatment and rehabilitation efforts. The third-year veteran hasn't lost sight of a Week 1 return, although the expectation is he will miss at least a game or two.
In what Mathews termed a "good rehab," he is working closely with James Collins, the Chargers' head athletic trainer.
The 2010 first-round pick acknowledged "there is a chance" he won't be ready by the season opener.
"But James tells me every day to slow down with everything I'm doing," Mathews added. "I come in, and I'm doing this and I'm doing that. He's like, 'Man, just slow down. Slow down.' It's hard. I've been like I caged lion. You just want to go out there.
"I'm going to see how it's going tomorrow and really see where to go from there."
