The Facts:
Green never saw action against the Chargers because of a nagging knee injury he suffered in Week 3. Green had returned to play in Week 6 in Jacksonville and looked stronger the following week against Tennessee. However, days before leaving for San Diego, Green's knee began to swell and the Pro Bowler pulled himself out of the lineup before the weekend.

As HC Gary Kubiak explained: "He did not even require treatment Monday or Tuesday, he was doing so well. We thought we had turned the corner. He came back Wednesday, practiced a little bit. The knee swelled up again, uncharacteristic from what was happening the previous weeks. Thursday, he was unable to go. He took a couple of reps Friday and basically told me, ‘Coach, I can't go. My knee is bothering me, it's hurting me. I need this week. ...'" All of which is quite interesting considering the team
reported "Full Participation" in Friday's practice. Good to know what that's worth going forward.
