Kimani Vidal, RB (LAC)

Sits out practice

Vidal (neck) was a non-participant in Tuesday's practice.

Vidal was forced out late in this past Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys due to a neck strain and is being viewed as day-to-day ahead of the Chargers' Week 17 game Saturday versus the Texans. He'll need to upgrade to at least limited participation in practices Wednesday and Thursday to have a shot at playing this weekend.
