Gehlken reports that Verrett and Flowers have been limited in some capacity during the team’s practices this week.

Rookie Jason Verrett is still recovering from shoulder surgery and Marcus Cromartie has also sat out the last few practices.

Even if they were healthy Flowers and Verrett would only be expected to play the first couple drives of the game. Steve Williams, Shareece Wright and Richard Marshall will get most of the snaps at cornerbacks for the Chargers in the first half against the Cowboys.

The Chargers currently have 11 cornerbacks on the 90-man roster in Jason Verrett , Steve Williams, Marcus Cromartie, Brandon Ghee, Brandon Flowers, Shareece Wright, Richard Marshall, Crezdon Butler, Chris Davis, Greg Ducre and recently signed Lowell Rose.

Rose is considered a versatile cornerback that is also capable of playing safety due to his solid tackling ability. Rose also adds a bit of size at 6-foot-1 to a group of athletic cornerbacks that lack size.
