Preview: Chargers, Vikings Meet in Week 3

Chargers future Hall of Fame tight end Antonio Gates continues his four-game suspension for PED use, leaving a gaping hole at the position early in the season. With Ladarius Green suffering his second concussion in two games, Philip Rivers will have to look to his wide receivers to make plays against the Vikings on Sunday.
The Chargers are banged up at several other positions, too.
Minnesota will look to take advantage on Sunday against the team that Adrian Peterson set the single-game rushing record against as a rookie. His 296-yard day is still remembered as one of the most impressive achievements by any player in any game.
