Veteran WR Dwight expected to miss Chargers' opener

SAN DIEGO -- San Diego Chargers wide receiver Tim Dwight is expected to miss Sunday's opener at Houston because of a hamstring injury.

Dwight missed his third straight practice Friday. The Chargers will start Eric Parker and Reche Caldwell at wideout.

Dwight missed seven games last season, six due to a partially collapsed lung and one with a knee injury. He also missed six games in 2001 with a collapsed lung.
