Chargers' Travis Benjamin: Does not practice Wednesday

Benjamin (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Benjamin was spotted wearing a sleeve over his right leg on Monday and Wednesday, prompting some concern over his availability for Sunday's game. Head coach Mike McCoy didn't entirely dismiss that concern either, saying, "I'm hopeful he can play. It's a long season." We'll know more about Benjamin's status in the coming days, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Chargers hold out the 26-year-old for a week in an effort to keep him healthier for the rest of the season.
