Chargers' Deane Leonard: Returning to action
Leonard (heel) is active Sunday against the Broncos.
Leonard will return after a three-game absence, which should be a boost to the Chargers' secondary. He'll likely get the nod as the team's predominant corner opposite Asante Samuel against Denver.

Chargers' Deane Leonard: Could return Week 17
Leonard (heel) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Leonard has missed the Chargers' last three games with this heel issue, but after a week of limited practice sessions, he has a shot at suiting up Sunday. If the second-year corner were to miss his fourth game in a row in Week 17, both Ja'Sir Taylor and Essang Bassey would likely see increased opportunities in Los Angeles' secondary.

Chargers' Deane Leonard: Limited at practice
Leonard (heel) was considered a limited participant at the Chargers' practice Wednesday.
Leonard missed Saturday's 24-22 loss to the Bills with what was thought to be an ankle injury, but now appears to be classified as a heel issue to open Week 17. The cornerback will look to increase his workload at practice before the end of the week in order to return to the field Sunday versus the Broncos.

Chargers' Deane Leonard: Officially out vs. Denver
Leonard (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Chargers' Deane Leonard: Logs career high in tackles
Leonard recorded seven tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 20-10 loss versus the Ravens.
That Leonard posted a career high in tackles is not totally surprising given he also played a career-high 69 defensive snaps in Week 12. The Chargers have been flailing on defense this season, especially when it comes to trying to stop the pass, so betting on any Chargers corner not named Asante Samuel to provide consistent, solid reps seems less than wise at this point.
