The Facts:
Tomlinson, the 2006 NFL MVP, had only four of his 19 carries in the second half of tonight's win over the Broncos. Tomlinson felt his hamstring grab following a 6-yard run, his final carry of the night, just as it did a week earlier in a blowout against Detroit. He checked by trainer James Collins, and HC Norv Turner decided he'd carried enough. "I was going to go back in because it was OK," Tomlinson said. "I just needed to play to stretch it out. Norv told me to come back and that I was done."
