SAN DIEGO -- Linebacker Manti Teo will miss the rest of the season with a torn left Achilles tendon, becoming the third big-name player for the San Diego Chargers to be shelved by a major injury in as many games.Teo, a fourth-year linebacker from Notre Dame, was hurt in the first quarter of Sundays 26-22 loss at Indianapolis, in which the Chargers once again blew a fourth-quarter lead.His non-contact injury came a week after running back Danny Woodhead tore his right ACL in a home victory against Jacksonville. Wide receiver Keenan Allen suffered the same injury in a season-opening loss at Kansas City.Its another one of those guys you feel for, the way hes worked, what hes done, what he means to our organization, coach Mike McCoy said. Its a shame.Teo was hoping to have a big season. He was selected as one of the teams captains after leading the Chargers with 107 tackles last season.This is really tough, especially on me, fellow inside linebacker Denzel Perryman said. We were really close, thats like my brother on and off the field. Thats big bro. On the sideline he pretty much told me, `Its your team, take over. Its pretty much what you do.You lose one of your leaders on your defense, Perryman said. A guy like me, guys on the D-line, other linebackers, weve all got to step up, back into the secondary. Everybody has to step up. Thats a big loss on the defense, but we have to step up.Rookie Jatavis Brown filled in for Teo and forced a fumble by Andrew Luck that defensive tackle Caraun Reed returned 61 yards for a touchdown.Jatavis loves to play the game and you love his effort, the way he runs to the football, McCoy said. Theres some wow factor to him.Once again, the Chargers (1-2) failed to protect a late lead.I would say it was more self-inflicted, McCoy said. I mean, give them credit for the way they we played, but we missed a number of opportunities and didnt play as well against a good team.The Chargers have lost 10 of their last 11 road games dating to the final game of 2014.They host their former quarterback, Drew Brees, and the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.The Chargers still dont know when theyll see their first-round draft pick, defensive end Joey Bosa, in action. Bosa missed all of training camp during a nasty contract dispute and then pulled a hamstring after signing. He went through his first padded practice last Wednesday, but was limited all week and missed his third straight game.When Joeys ready to go cut it loose and be Joey and play out there and help our team win games, hell be out there, McCoy said.---Follow Bernie Wilson on Twitter at http://twitter.com/berniewilson---Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Treston Decoud Jersey .

CHICAGO -- Jon Lester is all set for Game 1 of the NL Championship Series on Saturday night. The rest of the Chicago Cubs rotation depends on the health of Kyle Hendricks.Hendricks left Game 2 of the Division Series against San Francisco when a comebacker went off his right forearm in the fourth inning. He had a bullpen session Thursday, and the Cubs are waiting to see how he feels before confirming the major league ERA leader for Game 2 on Sunday night.Just find out where Kyle is. Just making sure that hes healthy, manager Joe Maddon said. He threw today. You always wait a little bit to find out if theres any after-effect of that and then you make your determination. But thats about it, just health.Hendricks is coming off a breakout season, going 16-8 with a 2.13 ERA this year that included a 9-2 record and 1.32 ERA in 15 home games.Assuming Hendricks comes through the bullpen session just fine, he likely would be followed by Jake Arrieta in Game 3 and then John Lackey. The four playoff starters combined for 64 of Chicagos major league-leading 103 wins this season, and it sounds as if the Cubs feel they will be OK no matter how it shakes out.I have a lot of faith in our guys. Theyve been doing it all year, Maddon said on a brisk day at Wrigley Field. Theyre absolutely rested going into this moment, so I feel very strongly about our starting pitching.The only major question for Chicago is its NLCS roster. The Los Angeles Dodgers and Washington Nationals played Game 5 of their NL Division Series on Thursday night, and the winner could affect how many pitchers the Cubs carry for the next round.We debated 11 pitchers versus 12 a lot before that last series, and Im sure thatll be the same debate, general manager Jed Hoyer said. Whhich way we end up going Im not sure.dddddddddddd There was parts of the last series that pushed for both, really. There were moments that you were glad you had the extra position player. There were moments you wanted the extra pitcher.Chicago was nearly pushed to a decisive Game 5 by San Francisco, but the Cubs rallied for four runs in the ninth inning of their series-clinching 6-5 victory on Tuesday night. Asked how much he had watched that ninth inning, a chuckling Hoyer responded a lot.It was great. I thought the purpose of our guys at-bats was really wonderful, Hoyer said. They all had a plan.Before that rally, the Cubs had been mostly shut down by Giants pitching. They hit just .200 for the series, and their pitchers drove in six of their 17 runs. Anthony Rizzo, one of the top contenders for NL MVP, and starting shortstop Addison Russell each went 1 for 15 in the first round.We look at it as `Ws and losses. Thats how we all look at it, right fielder Jason Heyward said. We all understand its not going to happen every time at the plate. We understand sometimes youre going to face good pitching.The Cubs also made it to the NLCS last year and then managed just eight runs and 21 hits in a sweep by the New York Mets. But they are hoping momentum from the rally against the Giants, their experience from last year and home-field advantage will lead to a different result this time around.I do have a lot of faith in our guys, Maddon said. Id like to believe that just getting to this next moment might chill everybody out even a little bit more.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap ' ' '
