Chargers safety Bob Sanders, who was placed on injured reserve last week, is not expected to play again, according to a league source. The condition of his knee has deteriorated to the point where he is unlikely to undergo more surgery or play football again. Losing Sanders could have been a bigger blow to the Chargers were it not for safety Eric Weddle, whom San Diego signed to a five-year, $40 million deal after the lockout ended. At the time, the contract seemed huge, but now it seems like a good value. Weddle has turned in the types of plays that Sanders once did, clinching each of the Chargers' past two victories with interceptions in the closing minutes.
