Mathews (ankle) did not practice again Thursday, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Per the report, Mathews wasn't close to playing last Sunday and at this stage his status for Saturday's game against the 49ers is looking cloudy. If Mathews is out again or limited Saturday, Branden Oliver and Donald Brown (along with Ronnie Brown to a lesser degree) would be in line to see added work in the Chargers' Week 16 backfield.
