Chargers’ Henry, Ingram listed as questionable

Tight end Hunter Henry took part in all drills during the Los Angeles Chargers’ practice Friday, leaving open the possibility that he could play in Sunday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Henry has missed the past four games due to a knee injury. This is the first time he has participated in a full practice since the injury occurred during the Sept. 8 opener against the Indianapolis Colts.

Henry is listed as questionable on the injury report. Coach Anthony Lynn said a final decision on Henry will be made after Saturday’s walkthrough.

Defensive end Melvin Ingram, who missed last week’s game against Denver due to a hamstring injury, is also questionable.

Center Mike Pouncey had neck surgery Friday in Pittsburgh. He is resting and doing well according to the team. Lynn said Pouncey sent a video to the team after surgery.

Padres pitcher arrested for breaking into homePolice arrested San Diego Padres pitcher Jacob Nix after he was accused of breaking into a suburban Phoenix home through a doggie door and was shot with a Taser by the homeowner.

Nix, who is facing two counts of criminal trespassing, was released this week from the Maricopa County jail on $100 bond.

Charging documents indicate the 23-year-old Nix was under the influence of either alcohol or drugs during Sunday’s incident.

Police say Nix tried to crawl through the doggie door of a Peoria home shortly before 4 a.m.

The homeowner discovered Nix and kicked him in the face.
