Te'o has returned to practice on Monday and says he feels great heading into the regular season, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Te'o missed a week of practice with an apparent shoulder injury in the August 22 exhibition game against the Cardinals, but he now is on track to start Week 1 alongside Donald Butler and appears primed for a good season. Entering his third season in the leauge, Te'o believes that he finally has enough experience to allow his natural instincts to take over and feels more like himself on the football field. With double digit tackles in each of the Bolts last two games in 2014, the results seem to support the notion that he is getting better with experience.
Sun Nov 16 201414:43Te'o (foot) listed as active Sunday's game against Raiders
Te'o (foot) is listed as active Sunday's game against the Raiders, Ricky Henne of chargers.com reports.
Te'o returns to action for the first time since Week 3 and once he re-establishes his role in the Chargers' defense, he could merit IDP consideration. In his last game, Te'o notched 10 of the 19 tackles that he's recorded in three contests to date.
Fri Nov 14 201416:21Te'o listed as probable for Sunday's game against Raiders
Te'o is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
It has been a week of full participation in practice for Te'o, likely meaning that he is ready to play for the first time since Week 3. Te'o will be worth considering as an IDP, but he will still need to show more than his rookie performance to make him a strong option.
Wed Nov 12 201419:27Te'o (foot) practiced fully Wednesday
Te'o (foot) practiced fully Wednesday, the Chargers' official site reports.
His full participation suggests that Te'o has a decent chance to suit up Sunday against the Raiders. Once he's up to speed, the linebacker is a player worth tracking in IDP formats, given that Te'o recorded 10 tackles the last time he suited up, which was back in Week 3.
Tue Sep 23 201400:57Manti Te'o: Suffers Fractured Foot
Te'o suffered a right foot fracture during Sunday's win over the Bills, and while he isn't expected to land on injured reserve, he will miss multiple games, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Te'o missed the first three games of his rookie season due to a stress fracture in the same right foot. He underwent surgery after the season, and then suffered a sprained left foot in mid-August. This latest injury is not thought to be related to the first two, but the trio of foot injuries is still cause for concern regarding Te'o's durability. The former Notre Dame star had 10 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's game, bringing his total to 19 (12 solo) through three weeks. He'll likely be replaced in the starting lineup by Kavell Conner, who is only an IDP option in deeper leagues. Donald Butler, despite having a modest 14 tackles in three games, is the preferred IDP choice among San Diego's inside linebackers.

Te'o (foot) recorded six total tackles in Monday night's game at Arizona.
Te'o did not seem to be slowed by his foot injury, but we will need to see how he responds in practice this week. His six tackles were second on the team to Brandon Flowers' eight.
Mon Sep 8 201421:08Te'o (foot) active for Monday's game against Cardinals
Te'o (foot) is active for Monday's game against the Cardinals, the San Diego Union-Tribune's Michael Gehlken reports.
Te'o will give it a go Monday, though it's unclear how close to 100 percent he will be after entering the contest listed as questionable.
Sat Sep 6 201417:15Te'o (foot) listed as questionable for Monday night's game again...
Te'o (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Cardinals, the Chargers' official site reports.
Te'o was listed as a full practice participant Saturday, but the questionable designation adds a layer of risk to rolling with the linebacker as an IDP in Week 1, given the Chargers' late kickoff this week.
Tue Aug 19 201413:26As expected
As expected, Te'o (foot) missed Monday's practice and will not be available for Sunday's preseason game against the 49ers, but the injury is not thought to be as severe as the one that cost him five games last season, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
This injury is completely unrelated to last year's, which occurred on the opposite foot, and Te'o thinks he has plenty of time to get healthy before the season opener. "Luckily it is the preseason," Te'o said. "Lucky we're early." While Te'o is out, the Chargers have a number of seasoned options to use in Kavell Conner, Reggie Walker and Andrew Gachkar.

Te'o suffered a left foot injury during Friday's preseason game against the Seahawks and is expected to miss at least the next week, NFL.com reports.
Te'o isn't expected to be able to play in San Diego's next preseason game, although details regarding the severity of his injury have yet to be released. The linebacker missed five games last season due to a right foot issue, which required corrective surgery this offseason. Now nursing a left foot problem, Te'o being sidelined temporarily opens a starting inside linebacker position next to Donald Butler for the Chargers.

Te'o sprained his left foot during the preseason game against Seattle and won't be available for the Chargers' upcoming contest against the 49ers on Aug. 24, U-T San Diego reports.
Te'o suffered an ankle injury last season as well, but this new injury is unrelated. Luckily for Te'o he still has multiple weeks to recover before the season starts.
Tue Aug 12 201412:45Entering second season
Entering his second season, Te'o looks more comfortable and is staying on the field in more different formations as he takes on more responsibilities, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Te'o will be more of a three-down linebacker in 2014. It has been reported that he will be more involved in the nickel defense alongside Donald Butler. With more experience under his belt, the Bolts feel like Te'o is ready to make a leap. Te'o has picked up more on route concepts and is anticipating and reacting more through play recognition. He is also showing more patience in his man coverage.
Mon Jun 9 201414:14Te'o (foot) cleared for individual drills
Chargers ILB Manti Te'o (foot surgery) has been cleared for individual drills.
Te'o went under the knife two weeks after the Chargers' Divisional Round loss, but has been slow going in his recovery. It appears he underwent more than a simple clean-up procedure. It's not outside the realm of possibility Te'o begins camp on the active/PUP list, but there's been nothing to suggest he won't be ready for Week 1.

Mon Apr 28 201412:26Manti Te'o says foot hampered his 2013 play
Chargers ILB Manti Te'o said his right foot affected him throughout his rookie season.
Te'o originally sprained his right foot early in training camp. He went on to appear in 15 games (including playoffs), but he says he was "slowed" by the injury. Te'o underwent surgery two weeks after the Chargers' season ended and is still in the rehab process, suggesting something more than a simple sprain.

Tue Jan 28 201423:54Manti Te'o undergoes right foot surgery
Chargers ILB Manti Te'o underwent right foot surgery earlier this month.
The procedure is related to the broken foot that cost Te'o most of training camp and the first three games of the season, but it's unclear what kind of operation he had performed. The fact that Te'o played on the foot for 15 games suggests it was likely just a clean-up procedure. Te'o should be back as a starter next season, but didn't have the looks of a future star as a rookie.

Pro Football Focus graded him negatively versus the run but positively in coverage.
