Chargers' Eli Apple: Able to suit up Saturday
Apple (hamstring) is active for Saturday's clash against Houston in the wild-card round.
Apple played in just four contests during the regular season, and he spent the final six weeks on IR due to a hamstring injury. The veteran cornerback was activated from IR on Friday, and he'll be available to provide depth in the secondary against the Texans. Apple wasn't a big part of the Chargers' defense even when healthy, though, as he logged just 13 defensive snaps over his final three contests.

The Chargers designated Apple (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Apple suffered a hamstring injury during the Chargers' Week 12 loss to the Ravens, which was severe enough for him to be placed on injured reserve Nov. 27. Apple will be able to practice over the next two days, and depending on how his hamstring responds to on-field work, he could be activated off IR ahead of the Chargers' wild-card round clash against the Texans on Saturday.
