Chargers center Nick Hardwick fully practiced all week and is listed as questionable to play in Friday’s game at Tennessee, which will be broadcast live on NFL Network.
Hardwick hasn’t played since suffering an ankle injury during the Chargers’ season-opening victory over the Raiders.
If Hardwick plays Friday, it would be just in time for the Chargers. Scott Mruczkowski, who filled in for Hardwick, went on injured reserve Tuesday with a bad ankle, leaving Dennis Norman as their only center. The team signed Eric Ghiacuic as insurance.
Chargers LB Shawne Merriman (foot) is probable.
Titans CB Nick Harper (shoulder) is listed as questionable. Harper missed four games from Week 6 through Week 10, but he has made five consecutive starts.
