Manti practices first time since injuring his foot

SAN DIEGO >> Manti Te’o practiced Wednesday for the first time since injuring his right foot in August.

The Chargers’ linebacker wasn’t all the way back but his return represented progress.

“It’s been a long time and it’s definitely been a learning process,” said Te’o, who was injured Aug. 8. “But I’m glad I’m at the stage where I am right now and we’re going to get better every day.”

Te’o hoped to work again today as he tries to compensate for his time off. ‘

“He hasn’t missed anything besides practice time,” coach Mike McCoy said. “It’s just a matter of how quickly he gets back into football shape.”

McCoy wouldn’t say if Te’o would play Sunday at Tennessee.
