Tough news for the #Chargers. Per @davidcanter, both PK Nate Kaeding and DE Luis Castillo are done for the year, both with knee injuries.

After the Playoff loss to the Jets, I'd rather have the punter kicking FGs for the Chargers at this point (He hit on a nice 40 yarder today).
IMO- Castillo is a bust but I can take solace in knowing TJ is a much bigger bust.
The Charger D-Line will be fine without him.

Castillo will be missed but he has a very capable backup in Vaughn Martin who has looked real good in preseason. Castillo has a broken tibia so dont know if he will be IR'd or not. Keading tore his ACL and though he has been good, im sure we will find a capable kicker.

Shayne Graham and Chris Brown are available. Never seen a kicker get hurt as much as Keading has the past few seasons.
