The Chargers released wide receiver Chris Chambers a day after he had a key catch in a 24-16 win over the Raiders. Coach Norv Turner said Chambers was released because of the emergence of Malcom Floyd and the need to sign a linebacker because of an injury to Tim Dobbins on Sunday . . . The hits just keep on coming for Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who has been sacked a league-leading 31 times in seven games. Rodgers limped away from Sunday’s loss to the Vikings with a sprained toe on one foot and a nagging sprain on the other. Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Rodgers could miss time in practice this week but is expected to play Sunday at Tampa Bay . . . Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin hopes to play at Chicago this week despite aggravating a right ankle sprain in the third quarter of a 34-21 loss to Carolina on Sunday. He left the game and did not return. “If I’m able to run, I’m going to play football,’’ Boldin said. Coach Ken Whisenhunt said Boldin is day-to-day . . . Houston tight end Owen Daniels has a torn knee ligament and will have season-ending surgery. Daniels, who injured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, was hurt on Houston’s second possession in Sunday’s win at Buffalo when he caught his foot in the turf. Coach Gary Kubiak said Daniels will have surgery in about two weeks after swelling has gone down.

Del Rio livid

Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio ripped his defense for allowing 305 rushing yards in a loss to the previously winless Titans. “I don’t know if any explanation will make anybody feel better,’’ Del Rio said. “When you see it on film, it is insulting, ugly, and embarrassing.’’ . . . The Bills expect to add James Hardy to the active roster as the second-year receiver has shown he’s fully recovered 10 months after left knee surgery. Hardy began practicing just two weeks ago.
