from the 1-yard line in the second quarter before Hurts rolled

SAN DIEGO -- Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin was reprimanded during Mondays practice -- thats a positive.I kind of had a couple tempo violations where I was going faster than the other guys and they told me to slow down, Benjamin said. I was just feeling happy, and knowing that I could pick it up and run faster.Benjamin was eager to display his speed in the teams first workout after its bye. In a light session on a damp field, Benjamin was raring to show that his ailing knee is fine.It felt good to be back out there, said Benjamin, who has missed two games. Well see how it goes this week.Benjamin was among the Chargers returning to practice after being injured leading up last weeks bye. Also working and looking as if theyll play on Sunday at Houston were strong safety Jahleel Addae (clavicle) and inside linebacker Denzel Perryman (hamstring).Its great to get Denzel back on the field, coach Mike McCoy said. We all know what type of player he is, with his knowledge of the system and the play-making ability that he has. So anytime you can get any player back it is always a bonus for our team.Especially if Perryman, the teams top run-stopper, can stay fit for the next six games. In four of those contests, the opposition averages at least 4 yards per carry. Perryman hasnt played since Oct. 30.Addae, another physical player, could deliver some brawn to a run defense which is ranked in the top 10. Although its a unit which will no longer feature nose tackle Brandon Mebane, who suffered a season-ending biceps injury in the loss to Miami on Nov. 13.The way (Addae) plays the game, his passion, it doesnt matter if its during practice today or Sunday at kickoff, McCoy said. You love everything about him. It was great to see him out there at practice today.Dwight Lowery, the Chargers free safety signed in the offseason, agreed.He has the most experience out of everybody in the room, Lowery said. So to bring his energy, passion, physicality, passion and also his knowledge of the defense is going to help us tremendously I believe. It will be a lift to have him out there.Two key players didnt return. Cornerback Brandon Flowers (concussion) and inside linebacker Jatavis Brown (knee) were unable to go.It appears the last-place Chargers (4-6) wont be going to the playoffs for the sixth time in seven seasons. But quarterback Philip Rivers gathered his teammates after practice and stressed for them to keep fighting.Phil told us that everyone wishes we could go back in time and change one little thing we did in the losses that we had, rookie defensive end Joey Bosa said. But obviously we cant do that. Looking forward we have six games left and that is really all we can handle. That is what we are focused on. Our goal is to go 6-0.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Air Foamposite Wholesale .

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Even Nick Saban sometimes has to deliver an I told you so to his team, along with a few other choice words.No. 1 Alabamas slow-starting 31-3 victory over FCS team Chattanooga on Saturday night was one of those times.Jalen Hurts passed for three touchdowns and rushed for 68 yards, but the Crimson Tide (11-0) spotted the Mocs (8-3) the games first three points and didnt really shake them until late in the third quarter. The defense had a more Bama-like performance, and hasnt given up a touchdown in 13 quarters.Sabans halftime message after a week of trying to get his players to take Chattanooga seriously: I said, `Do you believe me now?Id been telling them all week, Saban said. The rest wed better bleep out.Hurts was 15 of 21 for 136 yards a week after torching Mississippi State for 347 yards. He had a 47-yard TD pass to Calvin Ridley and added two 1-yarders to Gehrig Dieter, including one in the final minutes that made the score look a little closer to what most expected. Hurts set Alabamas single-season record for rushing yards by a quarterback.Damien Harris rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown and Ridley gained 94 yards on seven catches.Alabama wide receiver ArDarius Stewart did not play in the game, and Saban indicated he was held out because sometimes we have players that have a violation of our standard of behavior.It was a milestone win for Saban, whose 41-5 record as the No. 1 team gives him the most of any coach. He had been tied with Ohio States Woody Hayes (40-4-1) and Florida States Bobby Bowden (40-5).This one came after a string of more impressive performances against Southeastern Conference opponents.I worried about it all week long, Saban said. When youre playing conference games every week and youre playing big games every week, its really hard to get guys not to have a letdown.Chattanoogas first-quarter field goal put Alabama behind for the first time since Kentuckky scored the first three points on Oct.dddddddddddd 1. The Mocs trailed just 14-3 until deep into the third quarter before Harris raced 25 yards for a touchdown.Alejandro Bennifield completed 16 of 21 passes for 106 yards for the Mocs, who sacked Hurts three times.I remember playing them here in 2013 and barely recording a first down, Chattanooga coach Russ Huesman said. They have got a really good football team, and they probably slept walked coming into this game. I am not trying to think that they were all jacked up to play Chattanooga, but our guys were pretty excited to play, and I am awful proud of them.Alabama wasnt exactly pushing the Mocs around early. Chattanooga stopped two runs from the 1-yard line in the second quarter before Hurts rolled right on fourth down and hit Dieter in the end zone for a 14-3 lead.That was set up by a muffed punt at the 9.I guess we just underestimated them, Ridley said.THE TAKEAWAYChattanooga: Was almost even in total yards with Alabama midway through the third quarter. Didnt allow a sack to a defense that came in with the most in the nation.Alabama: It was probably the least impressive performance of the season, considering what `Bama is expected to do to FCS teams. Left tackle Cam Robinson and backup Korren Kirven, who started at right guard, both left late with shoulder injuries. Saban expects them to be able to play in the Iron Bowl.POLL IMPLICATIONSChattanooga: Came in ranked No. 11 in the FCS coaches poll and shouldnt be judged much for this one.Alabama: Still a lock to be No. 1 in the AP poll and playoff rankings, especially with teams behind Tide struggling.UP NEXTChattanooga: Finished the regular season and awaits its playoff fate.Alabama: Hosts Auburn in the Iron Bowl seeking a third straight win over its in-state rival.
