Nate Kaeding played with broken leg: Chargers kicker Nate Kaeding played in nearly five full games with a fractured lower left leg, including hitting four field goals in Sunday's loss to New England in the AFC championship game. A person familiar with the situation confirmed the injury to The Associated Press on Friday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the team hasn't acknowledged the extent of the injury. Kaeding's left leg is his plant leg. He finished the regular season by making 24-of-27 field goals and all 46 extra points. (Updated 01/28/2008).
Injury Report
Leg - Probable for the start of 2008 training camp (Updated - 1/28/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Kaeding was hurt helping to make the tackle on the opening kickoff of San Diego's home win over the Denver Broncos on Dec. 24. The team described it as a bruise. While saying the injury could be similiar to the broken fibula sustained by fullback Lorenzo Neal two weeks earlier, the Chargers never used the word "fracture" in describing Kaeding's injury. Kaeding continued to kick field goals and PATs, but the Chargers signed kickoff specialist Dave Rayner two days before the regular-season finale at Oakland. He should be OK for the start of 2008 training camp. (Updated 01/28/2008).
