SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Chargers have had numerous players miss practice as they continue preparations for Sunday's game at Kansas City.

Running backs LaDainian Tomlinson and Jacob Hester, wide receiver Buster Davis and linebacker Jyles Tucker were unable to practice Thursday.

Coach Norv Turner said, "We have a little bit of the flu going around."

Others not working were cornerback Antonio Cromartie (knee) and center Nick Hardwick (ankle). Cromartie is expected to play Sunday; Hardwick is out until December.
