This is great news..........
#1 - I'm not terribly impressed with a healthy Rivers, so a banged up one in a brace is even less impressive.
#2 - If Norvo-the-clown is letting Rivers play a week after an injury that caused him to be listed as doubtful, it's an automatic indication of just how confident the Chargers are in Volek (not very).
My guess is Big Vince sits Rivers down on the second series and Volek comes in, to the sound of a toilet flushing, and the flushing away of any chance of an upset.
I've been hoping Rivers was gonna "give it a go".
