The Chargers got their fifth consecutive victory and a spot atop the AFC West standings, but it came with a cost.
Right tackle Jeromey Clary suffered an ankle injury which will likely shelve him for the rest of the regular season.The Chargers, though, are reluctant to put Clary on injured reserve, hoping if they make a late playoff run he might be able to go.
So look for Clary to stick, but likely not do much until late in the season.
That was the sense coach Norv Turner gave a day after the Chargers thumped the Broncos 32-3.
There was also troubling news off the field.
Cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who had an interception in Sunday's win, is under investigation for assault with a deadly weapon. He is accused of throwing of a champagne bottle in a San Diego bar altercation.
Cromartie was out early Monday morning after the team's big win.
