Merriman 'making great progress': Chargers head coach Norv Turner told the official team Web site that LB Shawne Merriman is well on his way back from the knee surgery he had early on last year. Merriman is lifting weights on a regular basis and is on track to be ready for the 2009 season. "It's very similar to where Philip (Rivers) was last year at this point with the exception of the fact that Shawne plays a different position," Turner said. "Shawne is further along from a time standpoint because Philip had his in February after the season and Shawne's surgery was done in September. He's in a similar mode in that he's working hard to get to the point where when we get going in our offseason program and are out there in the field, he's strong enough and far enough along in the rehab that he can go out with our athletic trainers and start having activity on the field."

Knee - Questionable for the start of 2009 training camp

Fantasy Analysis

Merriman had two torn ligaments (PCL and LCL) in his left knee, and he tried to play on them but naturally wasn't very effective. When healthy, he's one of the best Fantasy LB options out there, and chances are that someone in every IDP draft will reach for him. While his best value is as a low-end No. 1 Fantasy LB worth a middle-round pick, expect to see him gone in the early-middle rounds as one of the first seven or eight linebackers taken. If he comes back all the way from the surgery, he will be a huge stat producer.

OLB Shawne Merriman sounds like he's ready to buckle his chin strap ... yesterday. "I'm frustrated as hell," Merriman said. "I want to get out there and play ball. The advantage I have is that I get to do it with a helmet and shoulder pads, so any frustration I have will be taken out on the field." It's a big year for Merriman in many ways. Not only does he want to regain his status as being among the NFL's premier pass-rushers, but his contract expires at the end of the year. To date, the Chargers have not made a move toward a contract extension. "I'm not a doctor, but I'm very pleased with what I'm hearing," Chargers general manager A.J. Smith said. "He's on schedule and he should be ready to go in training camp." 57//2009
