Ryan Mathews: (Knee) Carted Off Field

Mathews was carted off the field after suffering an apparent right knee injury in Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Mathews was reportedly unable to put any pressure on his leg, which in conjunction with the cart, indicates the injury may be serious. Donald Brown will fill in as the Chargers' lead back, with Danny Woodhead still positioned to handle most of the third-down workload. Mathews hurt his knee while recovering his own fumble, which marked the second time he'd put the ball on the ground.
